It's possible but not in the way you're going about it. For security reasons, pipes (which Scoop uses to delimit its interpolation keys) are not permitted in stories or comments. Not even for superusers. This isn't a permissions issue, this is how Scoop is built at its core. There is, however, the macro system. Take a look at the admin guide for all the details, but basically you set up a macro, say ((RSS)), that when typed into a story would be replaced with the box you want. One application that I have seen in use is as a safe way to allow the image tag: ((image filename)) would, when correctly configured, be replaced by the image tag referencing the named file in the user's file uploads directory. This restricts images to those the user has uploaded to their space, rather than letting them post anything hosted anywhere. -janra
