[pmwiki-users] substr markup breaks with httpvariables

[edwin marte]

Ok, I found that the result *{Dec  * is coming from my tests. The Group I am
using is named Decisiones (spanish) so the problem is that substr in not
evaluating {Test.{$?page}$:date} . is only  seeing the  expression as Plain
Text ( it should be {Tes for our porpuses.)

Anyway or ideas on making substr evaluate correctly ?

Best Regards,
Edwin
