Reasonable, yes, feasable, possibly. The problems is that the &(...);
bit
has no knowledge of what is being displayed (article content or whatever
else
I cared to put in a variable) so we'd need a way to store that relation
somewhere.
With parameters you can add this kind of information to an article
though, so
if a page is displaying an article that you've previously added a
parameter to:
$article->parameter('display', 'formatting', 'H');
then this bit of code would automate the formatting process:
$article = mgd_fetch_article(...);
if ($article->parameter('display', 'formatting')) {
$format = ":" . $article->parameter('display', 'formatting');
}
eval "?>&(article.content$format);<?";
