This is now fixed.  It checks the function exists before calling it.

I changed it to a SDV variable (ZAPexclude).  Also, forgot to document
you can do {(count Snippets|all)} to ignore the exclusion list.

I removed the ZAP input forms from the list and added title to the
list.  Would like to add comment: but as it takes a : already there's
not much point.

Second I set another SDV variable (ZAPformdirectives) to false.  If
enabled, ZAP forms can be embedded using the ZAPmarkup notation.

Actually I accidently pulled up the old ZAPsite, not the new site.
Works fine both online and off.  Just tested.  Are you sure you
couldn't get it to work?

I've taken a look and both FireFox and MSIE format this value very different.

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;
Media Center PC 3.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12)
Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

I don't know about other browsers.  I'm wondering if anyone has a
suggestion (or better yet a script) that parses this to returns
something like MSIE 7.0 or Firefox/1.0.7.  Or is Mozilla 4.0/5.0
adequate?

I'd even be happy to get a list of the most common browser output
codes so I could come up with something my self. In the meantime, I
left it as it is.

Cheers,
Dan
