I think the other responses will have helped you on your way ...

Just one "gotcha" to watch out for, that bit me ...

DON'T use it between two alternative voltae :-) It gave me a very 
confusing error until I twigged - the ?parser? thought it was a volta, 
so it complained I'd told it there were two voltae but I'd given it 
three. Left me well puzzled for a short while ...

Cheers,
