erb inside editing? (mailmerge like use case)

[koenhandekyn]

hey,

have you thought about erb snippets inside the parts that are being edited? the context is similar to editing a mailmerge template in word. concretely in our use case the user would need to be able to insert a placeholder for a name, or an address. a bit more complex would be editing a conditional expression on a 'segment' and annotating a table with an iteration expresssion.

do other people share this need? would you be able to give a hint on how i could approach extending mercury to get there?

thanks for the reaction koen

My initial reaction is that you can use snippets for this functionality. Or I should say in Mercury 1 that is the easiest way to accomplish your goal without creating a custom region.
