I'm working on a plug-in right now that requires specific inputs. One of them is the entry's author name. So it'd be called as such:

<$MTMyPlugIn author="<$MTEntryAuthor$>"$>

Easy enough. But MT doesn't seem to parse this correctly and ends up making a mess out of 'author.' Am I doing something wrong or does MT just not support tags within tags like this? I could've sworn I'd seen it before.

Thanks.

Not supported.

Bah! Oh well. I think I found a different way to accomplish it. Even if it is a bit messy. MTSet/GetVar. But I'm gonna rest my brain for a bit first.

TagInvoke.

Thanks, maddy! You're a lifesaver. I was about ready to pull out my hair. Or somesuch. It's working perfectly now!
