Clipboard Before/After text

When you Shift+Click a question, Friday copies the answer to the clipboard so you can paste it into your email or other program.

If you want to add some extra text to the beginning and/or end of each answer as it gets sent to the clipboard, Friday can do this for you automatically.

Choose FAQ, Text Before and enter the text you'd like Friday to add before the text it copies to the clipboard for you. Or choose FAQ, Text After to edit the text that Friday adds to the clipboard after each answer it copies there.

To give a particularly immodest example, you could make this your BEFORE text:

This answer brought to you by Friday -- The Automatic FAQ Maker

and this your AFTER text:

Then every answer you copy and paste using Shift+Click will look like:

This answer brought to you by Friday -- The Automatic FAQ Maker
[your answer will appear here]

The simplest way to learn how to use this feature is to try it out. Add some sample text then Shift+Click a question in the list. Open a new Notepad file and choose Edit, Paste or press CTRL+V to see what Friday copied to the clipboard.
