SLASH_VAR add syntax for an extended version of standard TMPL_VAR HTML::Template tag. It adds possibility to have a placeholder text between this tag and an end-tag < /TMPL_VAR > to permit graphic web designer to format text in an WYSIWYG environement and have the same visual result when template is processed by HTML::Template and placeholder is replaced with dynamic text.

There is an internal parameter for the class costructor ecp_compatibility_mode This is used by me because ive an old project called ecp that use a modified vanguard_compatibility_mode that use two % chars to delimitate params name (%%parameter_name%%).
So with this plugin you canuse one of this syntax to insert a dynamical text:

< TMPL_VAR NAME="parameter_name" >

< TMPL_VAR NAME="parameter_name" >a placeholder< /TMPL_VAR >

%parameter_name%

%%parameter_name%% (only valid if ecp_compatibility_mode is set to 1)
