I would like to create a document with certain phrases that will
change (but the phrases will come from limited list. i would like to
be able to type in a symbol such as [a] and have a particular phrase
inserted there.
example:
The quick ( ) jumped over the lazy ( ).
[a]=brown fox; [b]=white dog; [c]=black cat; a=dog;b=cow;c=frog
so that "the quick [a] jumped over the lazy b" would print as "the
quick brown fox jumped over the lazy cow".
Thanks
