[stringtemplate-interest] Interactive StringTemplate sandbox

[Michael Bedward]

Hi Nicholas,

That's a great idea. Apart from fixing the newline problem if
possible, my only suggestion would be to have the layout so that both
the template code and the JSON layout are visible on an average
resolution screen (e.g. 800 px height) without having to scroll up and
down.
