I have a static item that I am not sure I understand. I created an in/out format as directed (to my best to understand it). It does work but as far as setting it so that the codes don't show, I am not clear. I wonder could you look at it. It is called Word of the Day:

I have two issues:

a. the codes for how it is formatted show in the box where my reader would type.

b. How can I set it up so I can respond back to my reader?

Appreciate any help you can give me?

I made an entry to your in & out to see what it would look like and you are correct: there is some formatting showing that shouldn't be there. I haven't done any items of this type before, so I don't have a good answer for you. Hopefully, there will someone else that comes along that has had experience with in & outs.

Greets,

The issue here is that you're using a "Custom In&Out Format"... this copy/paste is exactly what you have in the "Custom" field:

%%blank_line%% = adds an extra blank line when needed
%%text_plain%% = submission's text withOUT WritingML or HTML


So... It seems you've copied and pasted from the custom field instructions.
What you're seeing in the In&Out display is exactly that.

If you'd just like the plain text from the submissions to show, then the only thing that should be in your custom field is:

%%text_plain%%


"%%text_plain%%" is a variable instruction that tells the system to display the plain text of the In&Out submission.

Hope this helps,
