I'm guessing you envisage this editor as a 'create a custom template/fragment' web-manager plugin as there are lots of unix editors capable of being programmed with macros in the ways you suggest already I believe - emacs, vi ... My instinct is that anyone capable of understanding clearly what needs to be done in template customisation would find it easier and faster to direct edit. And there is the potential to create a mess if such an editor is accessable by someone who doesn't know what they're doing. But that's not really an excuse not to develop it - the real test is how useful it would be and it seems to me your idea at least has the potential to make life easier for the e-smith developer/integrator, making the templating system a little more transparent to function. -=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Graeme Robinson - Graenet consulting www.graenet.com - internet solutions -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==---=-=--=-=-= -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
