Create function in template

Question

Hi,
Because of the limitation of the form field help text I've tried to put my function in parts into many form fields, but it always brings me an error. When i put it into a XSL file and import it, it's working fine. How do I create my function in the RTF template???
Thanks

Hi Tim,
I think you will know this code and also what's passed to it, because it's your thread for subscripting in the blog.I've just made a small change for testing it for my purpose.
The pipe is just for showing how it is put in the form field status and help text.
