I was in the same position with merge(). If you haven't seen it
already,
format() has some pretty amazing capabilities as well.
To answer your question about escaping - yes there is:
[[[]] -> [
[[]]] -> ]
Also the merge function has another feature (which I think was actually
undocumented for a long time - although, for once, it is there now!):
1) "[[ 1 + 2 ]]" -> 3 (function / expression evaluation)
2) "<? if 1 + 2 is 3 then return true else return false ?>" ->
(command / statement evaluation)
Basically (1) does the equivalent of 'value()' on the string enclosed in
[[ / ]]; whilst (2) does the equivalent of 'do <script>' on the string
enclosed in <? and ?>.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
