Hi Javier,

Correct. As it's a string, you have to enclose it in within single quotes.

You are very right. The corresponding code vanished during=20
transformation to NextGeneration :-(
Thanks for the hint!
Question to the development team: where shoud this code be added again?=20
In 0.9.11 this has been in the parser, along with the Token handling.=20
There is no such thing anymore.
We could add it to the config code, so the program would never see the=20
"real" backslash sequence, but always the correct ascii value.
Or we could add this to the widget code, so internally the program would=20
work with the backslash sequences, and convert them to one single ascii=20
value when displaying it.
The second has one big disadvantage: length calculations will fail.
bye, Michael
