This is a simple tool which can help rapidly prototype cards/tiles/chits for board/card games. It uses csv files to import data, and jade templates to generate html from them. Finally, it uses wkhtmltopdf to generate pdfs which can be printed.

Add limited token support #15

When including text in a template, support a succinct markup that expands something like [foo] to <span class="icon icon-foo"></span>.

Yeah, almost exactly this has been on my list of things to do since the beginning. I was originally thinking but not sure if that would be confusing with HTML.

Maybe make it explicit so it doesn't become confusing? I could see adding a dictionary of replacements into ludo.json, so it's both configurable and 100% clear to users that the substitution will happen.

Regardless, this would be super-helpful, and would be the first feature to elevate this over my previous Photoshop workflow, since there's no way to do inline icons there.
