Mark, many thanks for posting the references to that conversation. I appreciate the very appropriate and poignant subject line mentioning “DRY, colon cancer, and redundant, repetitive redundancy”. :-) My thoughts exactly. The “ugly workaround” [1] you mention is exactly what I described as Option 2. (Except I use the convention of the normal input-2 symbol, using the ‘value’ attribute instead of ‘description’.) There is also a post-processing kludge [2] implementing Hidden option 3! This solves all the original problems but does bring its own inconveniences because it's implemented with post-processing scripting. Regards, Colin References: [1] “The way I get around the 'ugly' :1 thing is make the net invisible then use a visible 'description' attribute.” Bob Paddock <bpadd...@csonline.net>; <http://archives.seul.org/geda/dev/Mar-2004/msg00018.html>.
