How did you get to this page?This behavior is a long-standing complaint about the WebCat parsing engine. Anytime you are in an [orderfile] context, WebCat will replace [date with the cart order date (after deleting the space after that string). It would seem trivial to test whether the character after [date is a closing bracket and use that to branch, but it remains unchanged after several years of complaints. I view this as a bug.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
