Type of Change

Enhancement

Summary

Coming out of #1126 , it's clear that how Greenwood handles various aspects of its templating, primarily for HTML, is a little too naive / brittle.

For example, Greenwood uses placeholders for injecting content into an HTML template

<html>
  <body>
    <content-outlet><content-outlet>
  </body>
</html>

Would get handled like this in the CLI

body = body.replace(/\<content-outlet>(.*)<\/content-outlet>/s, processedMarkdown.contents);

This issue is that $1 is used for matching when used in conjunction with the String .replace function.

So we have to keep doing things like

body = body.replace(/\<content-outlet>(.*)<\/content-outlet>/s, processedMarkdown.contents.replace(/\$/g, '$$$'));

Details

So rather than keep suffering through these issues...

Since we are already using an HTML parser, I see it supports methods like set_content which could a much more practical way to approach this problem.

So basically any usage of .replace, for HTML at minimum, would be a candidate for refactoring.
