Dear Jeremias, Georg, Chris, Craig, thanks a lot for your answers!!!
I already thought about the "simple text marker" idea. I really would prefer a marker on element or attribute level because I have an already implemented XMLFilter which would handle my placeholders. A text parsing would be less performant in my opinion... @Jeremias: when you say that a new extension would be difficult, do you mean impossible? If its possible could you give me some hints how to do this... I dont want to lose the great performance of the IF just because some text parsing... Thanks in advance!
