New to Power Cards - Could Use Some Help

I'm trying to convert Pathfinder Community sheet attack macros to Power Cards and I'm not having much luck. When I run this in the macro text box of a characters weapon: !power --name|Rapier (@{character_name}) --leftsub|Melee --rightsub|Main Hand --Attack:|[[ 1d20cs>[[ @{crit-target} ]] + @{attack_macro}]] --Damage:|[[@{damage-dice-num}d@{damage-die} + @{damage_macro}]] --Damage Type|@{repeating_weapon_$0_type} --Defense:|AC It just outputs this (the second one): Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong or possibly point me to some guides for Power Cards?
Also wondering: Can you use images in Power Cards? If so how?

Make sure the ! is the first character on the line, otherwise it will just print out the text. You might like rewriting with the multi-line syntax: !power {{    --name|Rapier (@{character_name})    --leftsub|Melee    --rightsub|Main Hand    --Attack:|[[ 1d20cs>[[ @{crit-target} ]] + @{attack_macro}]]    --Damage:|[[@{damage-dice-num}d@{damage-die} + @{damage_macro}]]    --Damage Type|@{repeating_weapon_$0_type}    --Defense:|AC }}
The macro text area is putting a buffer of 2 spaces on the first line so I had to add @{PC-whisper} then on the SECOND line run !power and that did the trick.
I think I am going to forego Power Cards despite how nice they look in favor of my tried tested and true Pathfinder Community Sheet default macros with header images and other customization I've added. Too much work to convert everything in my campaign over to Power Cards.

I used to use a custom version of the Pathfinder sheet that included all the necessary powercard code contained within the sheet's rolls.  It was awesomely cool.  Then roll templates came along and I no longer had much reason to use powercards. ;-(

Rolltemplates are nice, but powercards are better ;)

GenKitty said: Rolltemplates are nice, but powercards are better ;) I agree. I also strongly believe that HB's aka (Sky)'s powercards spearheaded the creation of roll templates.  Looking back, in order for me to use our PF sheet that included near weekly updated "bells and whistles" I had to put all my proverbial eggs in the roll template basket. I like that there has been some new additions over in the powercard camp recently.  I just may have to re-visit interjecting them back into my macros...
