Feature Proposal: Formatted Search Summary with Expand Var
Motivation
Add a$summary(expandvar) to the FormattedSearch to get a summary with expanded variables. Useful for TWikiApplications.
Description
The FormattedSearch already supports a$summary(showvarnames) to show the variable names, e.g. %TOC% is shown as TOC (without the percent).
With the new $summary(expandvar) feature it is possible to get the variable expanded.
Related, the default $summary() strips all variables. It also strips all percent signs. This change retains the percent signs and <nop> tags, so that text with an escaped variable gets rendered identical in the rendered text and topic summary, e.g. as %TOC%. This is relevant for related work going on, TipOfTheDayFeatureRequest.
