• Inserts spaces between word components. Word component boundaries are transitions from lowercase to uppercase or numeric, from numeric to uppercase or lowercase, and from uppercase to numeric characters.
• Useful for spacing out WikiWords
• Syntax: %SPACEOUT{ "%TOPIC%" }%
• Expands to: Var SPACEOUT
• Supported parameters:

  Parameter:	Description:	Default:
  separator	The separator to put between words e.g. %SPACEOUT{"DogsCatsBudgies" separator=", "}% -> Dogs, Cats, Budgies	' '

%SEARCH{ search="." scope="topic" type="regex" excludetopic="Web*" format="%SPACEOUT{ '$topic' }" separator=" <br/>" nonoise="on" }%

Please add a working example showing how to embed the use of SPACEOUT within, say, SEARCH, i.e. how to deal with nested % and quotes.
