Re: [h-e-w] Template creation

[Rajesh J Advani]

Hey, thanks for the code. It works pretty neatly if I remove the
"'c-tempo-tags" line. I don't seem to have that command on my machine.

Now what I'd love is a piece of code to convert the template text with
some placeholder symbols (maybe like "$placeholder") into the
corresponding lisp, and eval it. (Not too much to ask is it?). Sadly my
lisp coding capabilities are more or less zilch, so I don't know how to
do any string parsing, loading into memory, and eval'ing from memory.

If I had this, my life would be much easier. My templates are not very
long-lived, so writing all that code would seem like overkill.

Thanks again,
