[TYPO3-english] dynamic content snippets

[Søren Malling]

Hi Mario,

Regarding the FCE

You might create your HTML template, and make the <span>/<strong> or
whatever tag should hold the "variables". Map these in TemplaVoila as
input field and save your FCE.

Insert the FCE and you will now have these three fields for your
purpose of entering the data :)

Just a quick helping hand, if you need more help on this solution I
might be on IRC later this evening :)

Regards,

Søren Malling
