If not for the completely accidental discovery I made a few months
ago, string.multiReplaceAll would be my new best friend. Up until
that point, I was mostly using html.processMacros to slot already
prepared data into string templates, which is something that
string.multiReplaceAll is perfect for doing.

Yup. And with my discovery, which may or may not come as a surprise
to others, I think html.processMacros becomes an almost "killer
feature" of Frontier. I've been meaning to write up the discovery,
what it means, and why it's not a big surprise if you know how
Frontier works, but I just haven't had the time. Alan German
suggested I give the list a little taste, so I'll leave you with this
code snippit...

on foo () {
return ("Process Macros is way cool!")};
dialog.notify (html.processMacros ("{foo ()}", false, @temp))
