Bearing in mind that my original placeholder -- which resolves to my (existing) 
MSP# -- is

        $<current_provider_external_id::Billing#//BC.CA_MSP>$

I was able to make it all work nicely. This included my providing, in my root 
/gnumed/ a 'stub' file

        /gnumed/signature-.png

which covers the contingency of a clinician (like McCoy) for whom no mapped 
external ID identifier exists (and who accordingly resolves to my 2x2 pixel 
white space 'stub').

I only am not sure what your suggested placeholder parameter

        ::120

was meant to achieve... is it simply precautionary against some bizarrely long 
value inputted for an ID?
