[ic] UI: interpolating usertags

[Ton Verhagen]

Sonny,

Thanks for your reply.

I have changed my usertag to return a string like:
<option>A  <option>B <option>C

When I use that usertag in a template like:
page_picture:
         widget: select
         options: [myustertag]

it will generate the following code:
<SELECT ...><OPTION VALUE="<option>A  <option>B 
<option>C"><option>A  <option>B <option>C </SELECT>

Don't know what to do next to get a proper option list.

Ton
