FormAPI within Inline?

I am writing a FormsPub component that needs to use the FormAPI. Is there any way to include the in the component, instead of the parent DCT? For example, the DCT would look like:

[html]
...

...

...

...
[/html]

and in the component:

[html]
...

...component stuff
<script>
//FormAPI stuff
</script>
...

[/html]

Doing this has resulted in some errors when trying to make a new form with the parent DCT, so I know this isn't the right way to do it. Just wondering if anything like this was possible, or if the <script> has to go in the parent DCT.

It should be possible. With the exception of the substitution itself, any correct DCT Tag Collection can go under substitution.

Your inline's Command looks somewhat suspicious though. It must point to the executable that returns proper substitution via STDOUT.
Does it? For Unix/Linux you may want to try command="cat /path/to/my/component/datacapture.cfg". In windows you may use "type"
instead of "cat", etc... Once again, in general it may be any code - as long as it runs and outputs what you need.
