Hi Romano,

IIRC in older versions if you inserted a tag into a string you
didn't get the tag delimiters (only the content of the tag was
inserted). So maybe that's a leftover from older versions.

Indeed.

Or create a new string, and the use it to change the old one. If
there are a lot of occurrences it could be a lot faster...
Anyway, a general and fast version is probably not very easy to
write...
