I'm having trouble making them work together.

Here's the page BenTestTempl:

Here's the page BenTest:

First problem - you can't have a 'text' field as well as a 'value'
field. It doesn't match the closing quote, so in the above example, the
label of the exitbox becomes=20
> Enter new page name here" value=3D"benTest/RobotName"
and the actual initial value of the editbox is empty.  If you reverse
the order of the two, the initial value of the box gets the whole string
and the name is default.

Second problem - while the variables 's' and 'template' seem to have an
effect (it creates the page of the name entered in 's' and uses the
template defined), none of the others seem to be interpolated into the
created file.  For example, in the template above, %%name%% does not get
translated into the value I entered into the 'name' field.

Question - what sort of formatting rules may I apply?  For example, how
would I get the box text on the left side instead of the right

>  your name goes here: ___________
instead of=20
> __________ your name goes here

Can I adjust the size of text-entry boxes (I think I saw that option
somewhere else... =20

Thoughts?
