Re: [format] problems
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2000
It keeps the original formatting.

interpreted = N
texte = Let's go over the variable precedence issues again. If I have a database field called [format], how does that operate with the builtin function [format 20s]? Since we are having problems with exactly that symptom, I suggested to Jodi that she rewrite the page using the XML style tags.This would be another example of sloppy parsing; the other being [date] (the order header field) vs the function [date format=%m/%d/%Y]. If the parser does not check for the closing ] and jumps immediately to the field rather than the function, this would explain the behavior we are seeing with [format].
