but @UQUOTE is not in the html file. It does appear, though, to be present

> which @uquotes
@uquotes is a plugin variable (SafeChars)

.

Is this @UQUOTE function the same as in plugin UCHARS?
Are @UCHAR, @UCODE, and @UCODEX in plugin UCHARS the same as the ones in TEXTUTILS?

 

[Charles Dye]

I think they're functionally the same. There might be some trivial differences; I'd have to go through the code to say for sure.

UCHARS just seemed like a more logical place for those functions. So now the choice is whether to remove them from SafeChars, or keep them but de-document them, or just have duplicates in both. It's not very much code -- I think @UQUOTE is the only one that's more than a few lines -- so I'm inclined to keep them in both plugins.

Thanks. What I can take out of this, then, is that I really don't have to pay attention to what order the plugins are loaded.

I don't think that the load order matters any more, does it?

e:\utils>echo %@safechars$uquotes["Never use a GUI to do a shell's work!" said Tom commandingly.]
"Never use a GUI to do a shell’s work!" said Tom commandingly.

e:\utils>echo %@textutils$uquotes["Never use a GUI to do a shell's work!" said Tom commandingly.]
"Never use a GUI to do a shell’s work!" said Tom commandingly.

This ability to specify a particular plugin to execute by prefixing the function / variable / command name with the plugin name and a $ was added in Version 19, according to the help file.
