Binding not working for open text

[pawelstep]

MyCaption = {{caption}}

This above does not work. Currently binding works only for entire attribute or for entire tag content
{{caption}}.

Ideallly, binding should work for any piece of text within DOM, like it was in 0.5

The company {{company}} CEO is {{ceo}}

More, this should work also for CSS customizations (text insertions), and class selectors and inline-style (I know there are other ways to do it, but that was really great in 0.55):
<style>
div {
background-color:{{bkgcolor}}
}
.caption {
color:{{fontcolor}}
}
.caption .level1 {
font-size:10pt;
}
.caption .level2 {
font-size:8pt;
}
.caption .level3 {
font-size:8pt;
}
</style>

That's by design

The binding annotation must currently span the entire content of the tag:

Let me correct the layout :

MyCaption={{caption}}

This above does not work. Currently binding works only for entire attribute or for entire tag content e.g.
{{caption}}

I've seen already your comment 'that's by design'. It's a pity.
So please consider the below ones too:

• CSS customizations (text insertions),
• class selectors
• inline-style.

<style>
div { background-color:{{bkgcolor}} }
.caption { color:{{fontcolor}} }
.caption .level1 { font-size:10pt; }
.caption .level2 { font-size:8pt; }
.caption .level3 { font-size:7pt; }
</style>

The feature wasn't forgotten, we just didn't quite land that for 1.0, but it's documented on the near-term roadmap.
