Thanks a lot for the reply.  This is indeed exactly what I was looking for.

But unfortunately, I cannot get it to work ;-(

I use the latest beta, and the function seems to return nothing at all.

The variables work OK with the markup from other pages.  But in a recipe,
with the syntax you provided,  I just get an empty string.
Any clue would be appreciated.
