texte = Happy Valentine's day everyone!I'd like your help naming the underlying technology for WebCatalog 2.0I'm tired of calling it you know: those tags that WebCatalog uses. More and more of Pacific Coast Software's products will be leveraging the language that WebCatalog 2 uses (SiteGuard's language already uses the exact same syntax and technology). Some people call them tags, others call them macros -- I want a short, memorable name that implies speed, flexibility, and its dynamic nature.My favorite name so far (until I found other companies already using it) was Tempo -- it is short, memorable, and has a nice speed feeling to it.DynaPage says a lot, but unfortunately implies something about a page-design tool or graphical assistant. In fact, probably any name with page in it implies a PageMill/PageSpinner/HomePage aspect that we don't necessarily want.We'd also like it to sound good in a sentence like WebCatalog 2's xxx technology makes creating dynamic web sites easy or This product uses an xxx-compliant macro language or Another incredible product from PCS based on xxx technology. The name should also not be too WebCatalog-specific, because it's really much more general than that: it should imply the benefits of designing web sites with any product that uses this cool new technology.Thanks for your support.[ShowIf [NewName]=ReallyGood] Thanks for using [NewName]!
