Re: what does [url] copy [/url] really do?
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2000
It keeps the original formatting.

interpreted = N
texte = the data is only [url]ed until the [append] or [replace] (or whatever) context is done'rendering' itself, then at the moment it actually modifies a db, it automagically[UnURL]s the data so the data in your db is what the user actually typed in, not thehexadecimal version. Webcat only keeps the data [URL]ed as long as necessary to keepthe context from breaking. But when you use [URL] in [showif]s and [hideif]s thecomparison will only do its job when both sides are in their hexadeciaml form (assumingat least 1 character gets translated into hexadecimal form), so-[showif [URL][var1][/URL]=hello world] do this code [/showif]will NOT evaluate to true even if var1='hello world'.You have to [URL] BOTH sides, like so-[showif [URL][var1][/URL]=[URL]hello world[/URL]] do this code [/showif]I didn't use very exact language, but hopefully you understand.-JohnEric Ridgley wrote:> I have noticed that there are a few things (if not more) in the syntax of> WebDNA that are used for more than they are intended.
