[TYPO3-english] dynamic content snippets

[Mario Šargač]

Hello,

I am trying to construct a weird content blocks and before I do anything 
stupid, I wanted to share thought with you here on the list.

There are some parts in the content that would repeat all over the site, 
like names and titles of people, etc,... and I was thinking of creating 
a content block on one place, where I would define such "constants" (I 
was also thinking of using Constants Editor for that... but I am not 
sure about that anymore).

Anyway in that block I would define content variables, so I can edit 
them later on one place (there might be hundreds of records). The text 
would look like this:
--------------------
(VARIABLE)	(VALUE)
headmaster 	= Jon Bauer
opening_hours 	= 13:00 - 15:30
something_else 	= <strong>Very important</strong>
...
--------------------

I would use then these "variables" wherever I'd need them, like in 
HtlmArea for instance, like this:
--------------------
The headmaster for this season is {headmaster},... Library's opening 
hours are: {opening_hours}.
--------------------

What do you think about the idea and what would be right approach to 
achieve this?

Best,
Mario
