Does anybody know some outliners / info-managers,
that are able to insert custom fields data right into their notes area itself,
such as for example via {placeholders} in sentences and the like…

so far i know that

- AskSam can do it

- Word (via its “mail-merge”) and Excel (via functions pulling cells) can do it too

- Chaos Intellect (via again its “mail merge” function) can do it too
(http://www.chaossoftware.com/university/Intellect408-Email_Merge_with_templates.aspx)

- InfoQube via its in-voice generation module can do it

- Alventis (and many other Database Software’s, via their reporting engine can do it)
(http://www.alventis.com/en/Assets/minitour/AlvReportA.png)

- then DataGuardian can also be cleverly “exploited” to create the same effect,
via its most unique combination of providing simultaneously
1. unlimited custom fields (even dropdowns / yes_no checkboxes etc.)
2. unlimited custom fields in columns
3. unlimited search folders with many combo-options
and
4. custom views with fully arrange-able columns for each search folder ;-)
(only that of course the output would be right in the columns themselves)

- Southbeach Modeller can do it in many creative ways
(which i am currently in-depth examining)

but i wonder, if any of you perhaps know some more/others as-well,
since such a feature obviously makes the data so much more useful
rather than to have it simply “locked up” in some dropdown box.

thanks for any tips.
