It reads a bit garbled, but I did a quick test:
It does work if I set the markup to '_init'.
'fulltext' or '<split' did not work.

I am reluctant to use 'init', but maybe there is no harm here, as the
function gets some PTVs from the page, does some calculations and sets
some PVs. Well it does output the appropriate star image as well in
the return, but I use HTML and Keep, so that should be safe.

When exactly are {$var} translated?
