Nested templates don't work properly

[everydayanchovies]

When expanding a template while filling in another template, the y in the form (p x y) no longer updates.

Consider these two templates:

(template-a "abc") (template-b (p "" var) n (format "%s" var))

When first expanding template b and then expanding template a within template b, I expect

"abc
abc",

but instead I get

"abc"

More precisely, template-a is inserted after the region which is watched to replace the value of y.

I see your point. I think Tempel doesn't support nested fields right now. I don't know how hard it would be to lift this restriction. I doubt that the added complexity would be worth it.

I see, thanks. The use case for me is coupling calc with org mode latex preview. This way I can simplify latex expressions as they are written.
