Re: Path: Tag Dressup: Can't insert holding tags

Upgrading to 0.21.1 didn't help. ... -Kevin Evening. I suggest keeping the latest stable release. I recommend trying the multi-tag dressup macro available.

Re: Feature: Support embedding links to jobs within other jobs

There is a functioning experimental macro linked in that thread to accomplish the multi-profile (expanded profile). There is also an experimental macro mentioned for holding tags that is compatible with the multi-profile macro.

Have a great day.

Re: Code Restructuring - JobFixer Script

Evening. Wow, what activity of late. I'll just jump in. . @memfis: I tried the two e2 files, as well as the basic e2 file converted with the JobFixer script, with FC version 20.2 and a recent 33613 revision.
