Easy user variable substitution?

Easy user variable substitution?

[Joseph Reagle]

Is there a facility for user variable substitutions? That is, I don't want a template but the ability to define a variable in the YAML and have it substituted in whichever output-type/template I choose.

No, though one could write a filter that did this.

It's fairly rudimentary but my filter 'pandoc-abbreviations 
<https://github.com/scokobro/pandoc-abbreviations>' might help, or at least 
be a start for you to build something to suit your needs.
