There are also examples scattered throughout the wiki/confluence

It is tucked away somewhere obscure (after all not all api commands are in mod_commands so it's more generic). Do you have an suggestions for a better location?

Seeing Italo's comment it'll be documented in the XML dialplan too which I completely agree is appropriate, but that's still not the only place where it may be used (can also be used via ESL for example) so it may need mentioning elsewhere too. Perhaps a page dedicated to the ${} syntax in all its forms?

It supports the substring with positive and negative vals so:

${foo:3:4} would start at char 3 in the string and eval to the next 4 chars 
${foo:-3:2} would start at the end and go back 3 chars then print the next 2 chars 

If the var name is followed by a ( or a space, it will pass the values to the FSAPI and expand the result inline.

${sofia_contact 1004}

equiv of...

${sofia_contact(1004)}

Hi.  I was experimenting with ${variable} and was wondering what could
be in there before the }?  I can do a substring if I say variable:2, but
I wonder what else you can do?  The bash manual has all kinds of things
you can have, but how much of this will fs do?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
