What does the paramEncoding attribute do in <text> parameter?

Hello Everyone,

I am learning MuCow and I am getting pretty good at it. But this is the only thing that is bothering me so far. What is the paramEncoding attribute and what does it do?

Thank you

It's used to format the text to make it web-friendly. URIComponent replaces spaces in the text with %20% and spaceToPlus will format spaces with the + symbol.

Thank you
While we are on the subject. Can you also help me understand the <builtIn> parameter? I mean what could we achieve with it?

[David Asch]

The builtin parameters give you access to internal data such as the unique ID for the widget, as well as its width and height. Others give you the page or site  URL This helps if you need to incorporate them into your code.

Where did you find out about paramEncoding? I didnt see that in the muse documentation.

It's here: MuCow Documentation, although it doesn't actually tell you what it does. Theres more info here: JavaScript encodeURI() Function.
