Modify MailChimp CampaignTemplateContent

Question

I have just started to use mailchimp as a solution with an asp.net mvc application I am writing.

I am trying to use the mcapinet.codeplex.com wrapper.

I have created a template based on one of the precreated templates so I have all of the areas available to insert.

How do I insert insert my desired html into the template without affecting anything else? I basically just want to have a placeholder where I can dump in my own html.

Has someone done this?

Any help would be great!

This has to be one of the most confusing things I've tried to learn about MailChimp's API. Forget everything you know about trying to use |MERGE_TAGS|. You'll end up editing your template and using MC encoded form tags.

Here is an example: Iterating over collection in mailchimp template via API
