I'm working on a new class that builds and ionCube-encodes a PHP project on the fly. This is not much different than how vBulletin delivers its software except that I want to ionCube encode the project.
I'm somewhat undecided on how I want to define placeholder variables in source files. So, I'm asking for official input from the vB developers on their conventions regarding placeholders.
I do not want to use the {{variable_1}} style because some of the projects built by the class will include smarty templates.
Thanks in advance for your input
