Hmm, 'item'-prefix - sounds logical to me.
I can see these tags work in the pages/flypage.html, but I am building
a component, which I plan to put in one of the component-slots of that
flypage.html template.
Now if I try using [item-code] or [item-field price] in my component
(which is loaded with the flypage.html), it just outputs the tags
unchanged.

What I am trying to do (i.e. my component) looks somewhat like this:
--
<!-- BEGIN COMPONENT [control component test_component] -->
Item No. [item-code] could be yours for only [item-field price]
<!-- END COMPONENT [test_component] -->
--

But as I said, interchange doesn't seem to care about replacing the
[item-...] tags at all if used in my component.

Thanks in advance.
