<div>I believe that what you'll want to use "&EXT('<span style="color: rgb(85, 17, 0); font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">resource.partid.maxtries')"
with the actual partid in place of "partid". I <span style="font-weight: bold; ">
think</span> that to accomplish what you're proposing to do, you'll need to set a variable in the PERL equal to the maxtries and then use that variable inside your problem, so </span></div>
