I got David's regex idea working.  

 I could not figure out how to get '[' into the regex pattern parameter.  It appears that '[' has special meaning to NAML even within quoted parameters as in
    class="app-title-[n.id/]"
and I didn't find a way to quote it so I did without.

The usefulness of regular expressions is limited without [ ].  I hope there's a way to get them in there.


In "subcategories_column" macro I display the short description:

          <n.if.current_node.is_app>
----------
            <then.current_node.node_message_as_html/>
++++++++++
            <then>
              <n.regex_replace_all. pattern="\{/?short-desc\}" replacement=" ">       
                <n.regex_replace_all. pattern="\{long-desc\}.*\{/long-desc\}" replacement=" ">       
                  <n.current_node.node_message_as_html/>
                </n.regex_replace_all.>       
              </n.regex_replace_all.>
            </then>
==========
            <else>

In "app_body_header" macro I display the long description:

                    <div id="description-box">
                       <n.mailing_list_information/>
----------
                       <n.node_message_as_html/>
++++++++++
                       <n.regex_replace_all. pattern="\{/?long-desc\}" replacement=" ">
                         <n.regex_replace_all. pattern="\{short-desc\}.*\{/short-desc\}" replacement=" ">
                           <n.node_message_as_html/>
                         </n.regex_replace_all.>
                       </n.regex_replace_all.>
==========
                    </div>
