Can we support define regions to inser lentic text?

[CestDiego]

Not just by having text surrounded by or src blocks like in org mode, but let's say I want to input an string when doing web templating (that means the main language might be php,python,javascript,etc) and I want the string containing html to have html mode enabled, I imagine lentic could be of use here.

I'm trying to say we could replicate something like in this video

It might be able to possible to achieve something like this. I am not
convinced at the moment, that it would allow you to do the "language
injection" where a specific part of the buffer moves into HTML mode, but
using lentic to pop out a part of the buffer and just see that would be
possible, by narrowing the region in the lentic buffer (assuming lentic
works with narrowing -- it hasn't been heavily tested yet!).

I cannot see a way to replicate their cute functionality where

"" +
""

is converted to

for editing. I guess you could narrow, and make other parts invisible.
But lots of mode features in Emacs still looks at invisible text, so I
am not sure how well this would work.

In terms of implicit regions and non-delimited regions, I need to
support that to add Markdown support which I would like.

Thanks, this is very promising! :) congrats for your work I'm looking forward to keep using lentic.
