From: bobzel <zzzman@gmail.com>
Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2024 17:08:46 -0400
Subject: cleaned up user templates to not get changed on reload.  made setting
 a template add it to the template tools list and as a tools button.   fixed
 linking to parts of a template.   fixed disappearing templates caused by
 stacking view set a field with an empty key.   updated field assignment
 syntax in trees, dash field views, and key value box to all use :,:=,=,=:=
 syntax.  added text elide button.  added @(title) syntax for hyperlinking. 
 made using a template both inherit from the template to get default values
 and use the template to render.    fixed submenu placement of context menu. 
 updated RTF markdown doc.
