Oh right. Thanks.

This was the part I couldn't work out. It looks a bit like a sprintf string... ah, and there are three fields after it that get substituted in, right? I didn't realise that lastplayed was just a digit, and I was trying to figure out how the format string could contain a date.

What causes these details to be stripped from view or is that automatic?

The part '%strip = "6"' removes the first 6 characters from the view. Unfortunately it is not possible to strip a variable number of character using something like regular expressions.

Please read the documentation Wiki - DataBase and/or Daily Built Manuals.

Yes for substitution. Each %whatever token is rendered using the respective tag in the subsequent text.

I was hoping that by using the phrase '...formatting string uses (but strips from view)...' that the reader would automatically associate the %strip token as the one doing that function...  :P

Well, if it helps, what I initially thought that part meant was that it would strip out the sixth arg of something. Seeing as there were only three fields being operated on, that confused me :)
