Using template variables in plain documents

Using template variables in plain documents

[Thomas Byskov Dalgaard]

Hi!

Is it possible to use template variables inside documents?
I have a few Markdown documents where I want to customize a few things. Since these documents are very different I do not see the need changing templates. I would rather instruct Pandoc to read the document and work with the variables I put in the raw Markdown file.
Is this possible or do I need to make custom templates for each small change I want for specific documents?
Best regards Thomas

You can use a lua filter to do this kind of thing.
See the example here
