Resurrecting an old thread… a few questions about

        ~/git/gnumed/gnumed/gnumed/client/wxpython/gmMacro.py

which has

#=====================================================================
known_placeholders = [
        'lastname',
        'firstname',
        'title',
        'date_of_birth',
        'progress_notes',
        'soap',
        […]
]


# those must satisfy the pattern "$<name::args::optional length>$" when used
known_variant_placeholders = [
        u'soap',
        u'progress_notes',                      # "args" holds: 
categories//template
                                                                #       
categories: string with 'soap '; ' ' == None == admin
                                                                #       
template:       u'something %s something'               (do not include // in 
template !)
        u'emr_journal',                         # "args" format:   
<categories>//<template>//<line length>//<time range>//<target format>

**************************************************

1) Is the difference between known_placeholders and known_variant_placeholders 
that the former all adhere to

        "$<name::args::optional length>$"

whereas the variants are variant on the arguments? If so, can we change "those 
must satisfy" to "the above must satisfy" ?

2) is the purpose of the 'u' to allow to support arguments, and where I see 
(among known_placeholders) the following:

        u'client_version'
        u'current_provider'
        u'allergy_state' 

have the arguments simply not yet been defined?


3) I have had a hard time finding much about 

        strftime date format

when the number 99999 is used, is that a default for the fullness of what is 
possible down to fractional seconds?
