Hello Mike, The "simple VS flexible" fight is always a challenge :)
I don't know how much is far enough, but in case of doubt, I do prefer to not implement new things. External processing is something may cause problems in conversion time, problems that are not related to txt2tags, but to the script/processor in question. Until we have a clean and reliable plugin schema (v3, I'm looking to you), I prefer to not add this kind of feature. But I liked your idea of "process the next block and substitute its contents with the output of the processor". When we finally have external processing, I'll want to have this block-based execution. Thanks!
