[oXygen-user] author framework, ${selection} variable in ${ask} dialogue

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Andreas,

The ask editor variables are quite primitive in interpreting their 
parameters, for example you are required to have simple quotes (') 
around the default value like:

>         ${ask('Wie lautet die Expansion?', generic, '${selection}')}

 From what I tested, after I added the "'" around the ${selection} 
editor variable, this started to work for me.

Regards,
Radu
