Issue with ! command for macro.

Edited 1509583764
Hi, I'm attempting to make a macro off this helpful video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RxRODcMRRo" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RxRODcMRRo</a> The command I am using to test this macro is [Some Dice](!&#13;#D12). When testing this macro, it works fine and flawless. However, upon clicking save changes the Macro messes itself up and no longer works, displaying: [Some Dice](! #D12) Obviously, this breaks the macro and makes it unusable. I assume this is some kind of HTML error, if so, does anyone know how to fix this?
This is a known problem with the Global Macro editor. The best thing you can do is to create/maintain global macros like this in an external text editor (I like Notepad++) and then copy the macro from the text editor into roll20 for testing.&nbsp; As you have noticed, when you re-open the macro in roll20, the HTML encoded values are converted to their actual HTML values. So once you have the macro completed to your liking, don't open the macro again.
