I don't think that gets you where you want to go, but it could get you
half way... You could abstract some of it out. I have not tried to
throw a lot of html into a set, but the theory works I think...
Hi Bill,
thanks for your tip.
I tried it with #parse. But instead of #set I use #macro ( PLACEHOLDER )
to get around the syntactical restrictions of #set. Macro definitions
can take HTML fragments as they are. The references (=placeholders) then
become macro calls. This is very close to what I intended.
cheers
