Listmates,

	Does quanta have an autotext feature that would allow me to define custom tags
that might take 1 variable and then assign the text to a tag? I can add an
action to a tag, and that takes care of 90% of the problem, but I would like to
be able to say "insert a tag and make the variable part '6'".

	What I am needing it for is footnotes. Footnote 1, Footnote 2, etc... So far I
have just used a bash command line to generate the tags and created a file in
my project that has 1-30 in it. The tags are:

<a class="fn" href="#fn_1" id="fnr_1" title="Footnote No. 1.">[1]</a>
<a class="fn" href="#fn_2" id="fnr_2" title="Footnote No. 2.">[2]</a>
<a class="fn" href="#fn_3" id="fnr_3" title="Footnote No. 3.">[3]</a>
...

then

<li><a class="fnr" href="#fnr_1" id="fn_1" title="Return to location in
document">Fn_1_TextHere.</a></li>
<li><a class="fnr" href="#fnr_2" id="fn_2" title="Return to location in
document">Fn_2_TextHere.</a></li>
<li><a class="fnr" href="#fnr_3" id="fn_3" title="Return to location in
document">Fn_3_TextHere.</a></li>
...

	I just used the following to make them:

for((i=1;i<=30;i++));do \
echo "<li><a class=\"fnr\" href=\"#fnr_${i}\" id=\"fn_${i}\" \
title=\"Return to location in document\">Fn_${i}_TextHere.</a></li>"; \
done

	and then I have been copying them over one at a time as I need them. Which
beats typing, but it would be nice if I could do something like assign:

<li><a class=\"fnr\" href=\"#fnr_${i}\" id=\"fn_${i}\" \
title=\"Return to location in document\">Fn_${i}_TextHere.</a></li>

	as an action and then be able to specify a value for $i when I insert the tag,
similar to how quanta already prompts you to fill in the rest of a css style
like position: 'then the little window pops up and displays: static, relative,
absolute....' that you can arrow down and choose from and hit return.

	It would be great if quanta had a generic integer value that you could place a
placeholder in a tag and then have quanta pop-up the list of 1-50 or so to fill
in the placeholder after you insert the tag. Does quanta have anything like
that buried down in katepart somewhere?

	Thanks.
