Interpolate a partial which is specified in a variable

Interpolate a partial which is specified in a variable

Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible to include a partial file in a template
where the file to be included is set in a variable: something like

${ $filePath$() }

The variable `filePath` would contain the path to the partial...

This syntax (interpolation inside ${...} is not supported right, I did not
found anything.
This would for example make it very easy to select another template, e.g.
for different title pages, just by setting the filepath in the Mardown yaml
frontmatter.

Is there a workaround?

BR

No.

You can always have a boolean variable and do something like
this in your template

$if(specialtitle)$
special title stuff here
$else$
regular title here
$endif$

Thanks for the response, thats how I solved it so far.
Would be a useful feature to have variables interpolated in the partial 
name (?).

  * ${ ${partialFileName}() }
  * ${ ${variable}:${partialFileName}() }
