Custom Tokens

I'm investigating the possibility of creating custom tokens for the HTML module. Any advice or samples? Here is an example of what I'm trying to do:

heading 1	headning 2	heading 3
blah blah	[CUSTOM: RATE]	[CUSTOM:PRICE]
bum bum	static text	[Portal:Email]

I want to be able to control the value of the tokens on another admin page. I can build that easy enough, but injecting custom tokens would be awesome

Re: Custom Tokens

The rest of the text outside of the tokens needs to be static and editable.

Re: Custom Tokens

I am sorry, but there is currently no option for custom tokens built in. you would need to modify HTML module.

Re: Custom Tokens

Thanks Sebastian, I realize that it would be easy enough to duplicate the HTML module and use the core token class, link in the announcements and events modules, to create those custom tokens.

I as looking for some creative ways around that, i.e. razor scripts or third party options.

Re: Custom Tokens

core tokenReplace is extensible, but you need to call your own derived class - which requires code modification (at least I don't see any solution to get around this limitation).
