$! is the begin/end delimiter for calling content plugin using SuperWDX.

the syntax is the same as SuperWDX :

the syntax to use super_wdx column is :
$!nnn$! call SUPER_COLUMN #nnn (from 1 to 999)

Call SuperWDX with an alternate file $! WdxExpression [filename]%$!
- filename must point to an accessible file
- [filename] must be glued to the terminating $!
- filename must exist before tcbl build the bat
this WDX feature is experimental and does not support languages :(
