What is Hanna Code and why is it useful?

I will download and take it for a spin.

For those who are familiar with MODx would it be correct to say that this Hanna Code system is similar to deploying MODx Chunks? (creating placeholders for HTML and PHP code?)

Another question: is using Hanna Code more useful for site developers or site owners (or both)? I can see how it would be useful in avoiding some unwanted tag actions when using a editor like TinyMCE.

Just to give this thread some value: if you guys can recall facing any stumbling block or barrier where Hanna Code came to the rescue I would love to read about it...

Thanks!

Security

There are major security implications with a tool that will let you enter unfiltered text and code from your web browser. As a result, Hanna codes are meant for definition only by superusers and we recommend keeping it that way

hanna codes have proven invaluable for letting end user clients be able to insert things that require complex markup, such as accordions, tabs, galleries; i've used it for links to internal pages, audio players, phone and contact info, counts of pages (for example "We now offer [[count template=class]] classes!"), lists of attached documents, lists of external links, child pages etc..

Although any module I see in PW is great, they do take a great deal of learning away from you. But if a end-user has to type [[hello_world]] And forget one of the required bracket's, what happens?

I normally use Ryan's "Page Edit Field Permission" Module on most of my customer's sites in conjunction with Hanna Code.  I create custom text area fields which are then restricted to the Super-User only.  That is where I place stuff such as Macrura is talking about in the above quote.  That way the client never sees or has access to mess up the Hanna Code data.  It has worked very nicely for me and my clients.
