Most of what I generate is forms, so keeping track of fields is easy and natural.
I am now getting to motions, which will use data much like mail-merge in a word processor. So I might use something like Debtor ##dname## filed this petition on ##petdate## to generate Debtor John Doe filed this petition on 1/15/2015 For short things, it would be easy enough on rendering output to watch for words starting with ## and place the data field over the word, either on first render or possibly on the fly with mouseMove. This won't work "well" for a phrase, though, which can wrap. But if I could do something on initial render like put getVal("thePhrase") into theVa replace word i of tgField with theVal set the theProp of word i to i + the number of words in theVal -1 to "thePhrase" things would be fairly straightforward to monitor. I need to monitor, as that data changes, it needs o go back into the database -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
