[pmwiki-users] LastModifiedBySummary

[Steve Rowe]

I'm confused by this.  I posted a question on the
LastChangeSummary recipe.  I can't seem to get the
{$LastModifiedSummary} page variable to work on any of
my pages.  Is it because it is missing the "By" in
{$LastModifiedBySummary}?  Should I just go ahead and
use the {$LastChangeSummary} page variable from the
recipe anyway?  If it is built in to PmWiki, perhaps
someone could update this page and show an example:
