I think the authors of Ditto and Wayfinder either were unaware of this function as well, or had more complex requirements that required manually dealing with the replacements.
Any reason that Ditto and Wayfinder do the replacing of placeholders "manually" rather than using this function? (Or am I missing the point completely?)
I just did something like this 2 weeks ago but didn’t know about this function, and figured that if Ditto did it manually that must be the only way. Just curious.
I certainly was.... I’ll document this API function on the wiki (parseChunk) asap.
