texte = I would not use [removehtml] as it puts random text on your pages. I work for SmithMicro and this is the first I have seen of some these tags, my point being these may be things that were experimented with in the past and for good reasons were left out of the documentation. You are welcome to use them at your own risk. You could even write some nice WebDNA that generates words to test for undocumented tags. There is no list of undoucumented tags we are hiding from everyone and certianly no documention on how they work. Sam ----- Original Message ----- From: Kenneth Grome

They have changed the performance of *documented* tags and contexts in the past, and those changes have broken things that we have had to fix -- so I see no reason not to use these tags, especially if they make your life easier ... :) > > ================================ > Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant > 808-737-6499 http://webdna.net > ================================ > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server. > To end your Mail problems go to . > > This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to > the mailing list . > To unsubscribe, E-mail to: > To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
