[pmwiki-users] substr markup breaks with httpvariables

[edwin marte]

I have a set of pages with a couple of  page text variables  (PTVs) on them
of the form yyyy-mm-dd .
I need to grab  year , month and day values from them to display in another
page.

I  have a page Test.0001 with  (:date:2009-02-15:)

So if I point the browser to Main.Test?page=0001 (using httpvariables) and
then write  {Test.{$?page}$:date} on it I get *2009-02-15* (working)

then I try {(substr  {Test.{$?page}$:date} 0 4)} and I get    *{Dec
   *it breaks somehow ,  I was expecting to get 2009*.

*Any pointers on how to make substr markup work the way I'm doing it ? Any
reason why it breaks ?

Best Regards,
Edwin
