    So there was a thread on this back in February - I keep up with this
    because I also would like the functionality - I've just failed in
    trying to get it to work. Most likely skill issues on my part. <br>

    Thread here:

            <div>i did try both of the build methods and neither worked.

            I would prefer a different format but I'm unaware of another
