Support selection as parameter for replaceText - so we can transform selected text from smart fragments #289
Description
Usage:
We want to do replacements in the selected text, for instance, the string
Menu >> submenu >> command
should be transformed into
Menu » submenu » command
Additionally we could add some markup to display the text in italic (or wrap a layout span around it). Example for such a smart fragment:
<i>%replaceText(">>","»",selection)%</i>
Ideally the text (html) should still be selected after the replacement operation, this way we could concatenate multiple such commands for some powerful formatting.

Here is new version with the funciton added. Result:
By highlighting a line below (even if it has additional HTML such as bold or colored) we can transform it to a cursive string replacing all instances of ">>" with the Guillemet (right pointing double angle quotation mark) by using the following fragment:
At the moment if removes the existing selection state, so re-selecting the inserted string would be a nice-to-have. But this is already very useful to me!

Found another regression that had problems with multiple smartTempalte variables in the same line (overmatching and combining multiple lines) such as
To: "%to(name)%"<%to("( %",mail)%>smartTemplate-fx-4.5pre57.zip
this one should be more stable
