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
