###This is a TEST

* For those of you who like to try shiny new things, with minimal risk, please give this a try.
* It is part of larger macro I'll be publishing soon.
* **Please post any/all feedback.**

###Example Results

####Two Big Deals

1. All of the data is returned in fields, so you can use as you like. (see below).
2. This captures the **Reply Post** info (as opposed to the Topic/Page info) for Author, Date, & URL, which is hard to get.
###ReleaseNotes

Author.@JMichaelTX

HOW TO USE:

1. Select, or mouse-over, text in a Code Block in a Discourse Forum
2. Trigger this macro.

PURPOSE:  

* Auto-Select and Copy Entire Code Block on Web Page
* Get Author and Post Date

RETURNS: 

* The following, separated by a vertical bar("|")
      * authorName
      * postDate
      * postURL
      * docTitle
.
* IF ERROR, you get a nice, friendly, error message.

###Bug: Post Date is being converted to GMT when using this function:

dateNow.toISOString()

I thought it just converted to the ISO format (yyyy-mm-dd), but it also changes the time to zulu time!!!

Anyone know a better JavaScript function to just get the ISO format?

Just posted update.

Coming soon: An update using @DanThomas' great JSON method for passing variable between JavaScript > KM > JXA.

Should be later today.
