   In using Templatedia I am unsure how to insert special characters into my string. For example, I have an attribute called "summary" for my "dailyupdate" template.

   So therefore, I would call it using {{dailyupdate|summary=content.}}

   But within that content area I would like to insert special characters, quotation marks ("), dollar signs ($), as well as possessive modifiers (for example, sky's).

   Currently, the script removes the $ and places / before the quotations.

   You can see the results at http://busttobracelet.com/thepath/2007/09/15/daily-update-for/. There I have no changed or created a new SPAN-class in my stylesheet because I am hoping I can resolve the issue. But you will see that before my numerical values under the "summary" list item that it removes the $ and changes the appearance of the quotations in the manner previously mentioned.

   How do I insert special characters inside the template call? Not doing so would sort of defeat the purpose of creating the template or cause me to have to create a new SPAN class to use within my template which would seem unnecessary given the potential for the Plug In to deliver.

   Thanks,
   Sky

   This is a bug on my end then. It shouldn't be slash escaping quotes or removing things like $'s.

   Can you e-mail me the template code you're using? It will help me debug.

   And I'm glad someone's using this plugin! I was a bit afraid it had slipped through the cracks and been ignored, heh. :)

   It's a great plug-in, I think it should be included in Wordpress, honestly. Or at least the functionality.

   Thanks,

   Also, is there a way to include breaks within the plug-in call?

   For instance, in {{dailyupdate|summary=content.}} the "content" may run a few paragraphs. Instead of having it output as a block of text, can I include breaks using some sort of code within the template call?

   I appreciate your time and look forward to your feedback...
