If you don't want to have a named parameter for the initial, you can also program the template without it. Other users will find it difficult to see why they have to add empty parameters (pipes). To my mind, it would be simpler to have a syntax like this:


 * &rarr; T his is a poem.
 * &rarr; This is a poem.

Could you explain again why you need the other parameters? You're right, that would be simpler. For some reason in my head I assumed there needed to be an "if" statement for something like that to work (again, my understanding of coding is minimal). That is, in order for the template to know if it should activate that initial, it needed another parameter to tell it to. I didn't realise that a word present in the second parameter could serve as a trigger in and of itself.
