Hi,
I am having something very strange. When I make a snippet call into my document it shows the '[' and the ']'.
I never remember having this problem before.

I use the snippet call like this:

[[NewsListing?newsid=8]]

When I put this in an empty document, then the doucment only shows the '[' and ']'.
When I put a few spaces before the call, then the snippet works, only I still get the '[' and ']' in front and after the text.
You can see it here .

Any knows what the problem is?
ps. When I put it in the template, then there is no problem.

Three questions....

Do you have this problem if you use [!snippet!] instead of [[snippet]]...???

Do you get this problem if you edit the document with the Rich text checkbox un-checked, save document, and re-edit so that you aren't in WYSIWYG mode...???

What WYSIWYG editor are you using...???

Well Ralph,
Thank you for just being there :D !! I have tried to change the WYSIWIG editor, enable/disbale the document rich text editor, nothing worked. Finally I loaded the good old template "Alexispro Redux" and that one worked, so it had to be something in the template.

I had [[*content*]] instead of [*content*] in my template wich at the end caused the problem. The thing is that the [[*content*]] worked in my template/pages until I had on page with this snippet call.

So problem solved!
