DIS Text Selection

WAX DIS for text offers developers even greater flexibility and power for text formatting and selection via parameterized text tags. This capability expands upon the mapping of real text to a logical id as explained in WAX syntax to allow for dynamic text replacement in each mapped text.

Say you wanted to expand upon the "Welcome" example given in WAX syntax so that you could welcome your site visitor by name and remember his/her place of residence.
