When I go to grab a box from the database with the "Boxes" tool (by clicking "Get Box"), I see that any "|" is automatically escaped with a backslash. The problem is, apparently this is not what I want. If I get any box with a '|' and then immediately save it, it breaks. All the pieces that look like |foo| now become the literal "|foo|" and are not substituted with their contents. (Sorry, I forget what you call these pieces.) I've temporarily worked around the problem by fixing scripts/boxtool to use DBI's own escaping mechanism. There's a patch attached. However, editing boxes that contain the |foo| constructs appears to be fundamentally broken for me.
