I can do something like this... mytext = """ ``default/get_cms_article/4``:component
""" def __component(text): items = text.split('/') controller, function, args = items[0], items[1], items[2:] return LOAD(controller, function, args=args, ajax=True).xml() MARKMIN_ENV = dict( component = lambda value: __component(value) ) MARKMIN(mytext,url=True,extra=MARKMIN_ENV) This uses LOAD. What is recommended for loading components from other domains? I think I have used JSON for that in the past, but maybe there are other ways, I am not sure that I am using the currently recommended methods for Markmin.
