Hi Daniel,

This is what I was looking for.

One thing I tried was to split the [@url text] using quotes etc, much like your
solution. However I didn't know that there's no support for templates or macros
inside urls (Although now I know, I couldn't find it mentioned in the Quickbook
documentation or on the Web though).

(I made the template multi-line just to fit it on the line(s), entirely
forgetting that I'm writing for a Phrase Level Element.)

Thanks very much for your help.

Cheers,
Martin
