texte = No, you do not need to have the closing bracket when inside an orderfile context. This is a bug that I reported several times; the parser is greedy inside the orderfile context and takes [date (note the space) as [date] and deletes the space before displaying. If you type this: [date ] (again with the space) outside and inside an orderfile context you will see that inside the context you will have an extra bracket.Outside of an orderfile context, [date will leave the rest of the page blank, because you did not close the context. If you try it in 3.x, you will have the same behavior, since they did not fix it for 4.x.John PeacockPaul Uttermohlen wrote: > > > >I have an admin area that sorts by date and day and year and month.
