Until parametrization is implemented for LC 9 one could use
the following generalization of Andre's method for David.
This is still fast enough because replace is so fast in LC.
David would call merge2(string, "{{", "}}").
To make merge xml safe use e.g. merge2(string,,,"<1>","<2>")
Of course you

That would be great Mark :)

eheheheheh let me throw this hack in here and run
function davidsMerge pText
replace "[[" with "[safe[" in pText
replace "]]" with "]safe]" in pText
replace "{{" with "[[" in pText
replace "}}" with "]]" in pText
get the merge of pText
replace "[safe[" with "[[" in it

I don’t know the setting but might a line or two of preprocessing allow LC to
replace the (specific) strings in the template with curly brackets into ones
with square brackets for processing?
Best,
