Beautiful! Thanks!
I had been to that page, but somehow overlooked the obvious admonition
that one cannot do what I wanted to do.
I did find that the named actual parameter had to be last for some
reason. It was being interpreted as SQL otherwise. So this is what
ended up working:
> {{#tag:

> {{{1}}} | database=EcoReality }}
Thanks again for your help, Platonides!
