Gregory's Server@neauoire how long have you been using this type of facility for your sites? seems like this would be quite specific to the current edition of left, but maybe i am mistaken :~

 @neauoire hehe i was thinkin of electron left X) but cool to hear you've been using it for such a long time! love finding out these little personal tricks we all have but seldom speak of :>  @cblgh I guess I stole it from some other application but I can't remember which. When I first started doing it, I remember I saw a text-editor that let you type like TODAY, and it would insert today's date in its place. It might have been micro, or one of those. Being able to inject entire files in place is pretty useful! It's one of those things that everyone does, but it's only seldom talked about. @kototama @cblgh I used to do all the templating in a little lisp |
@cblgh maybe 4 or 5 years, when I moved away from the lisp parser in JS and rewrote it in html, I stuck to plain html source files. I've had this sort of little gizmo in left from the beginning, even back when it was written in C.
