Hi Sandor,

points:
SSV> So let's take the IF macro. The help says:
<snip>
The definition has been reworked for the next release of the help and
now says:
%IF : "var1" <comparison operator> "var2" : <true> : <false>
Conditional text template insertion macro which works as
follows:
<comparison operator> may be '=', '>', '<' or '<>'
If <var1> is = or > or < or <> (unequal) <var2>, then use the <true> result.
If the compare fails, then use the <false> result.
Example:
%IF:"%TIME"<"12:00":"morning":%-"%IF:'%TIME'>'17:00':'evening':'afternoon'"
Note that any of the <var1>, <var2>, <true> or <false> elements may
be either macros or text strings and macros may be used recursively
as well.
I think this makes the working of the %IF macro a little clearer but
doesn't answer all of your questions.
SSV> - what delimiters can be used? Here we have two, I've seen
SSV> another one (space mixed with ;) in one of Chema's message...
Yeah - that puzzled the heck out of me! Until I saw that I had thought
that only colons (:) could be used.
SSV> - characters used as a delimiter can be quoted? Is there any mean
SSV> to escape them (like 'that\'s a quotation')?
The only way to escape them is by doubling them up as Januk has
described.
