Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] Access Python variables from Markdown?

[Waylan L. <wa...@gm...>]

Ivan,

This is way out of scope for Markdown. That said, I don't see why an
extension wouldn't be able to do something like that.  I don't really
recommend this approach, but I suppose an inline pattern would do the
trick.

Another approach, and one I know some have used successfully, is to
pass the markdown text through a template system first (like Jinja) -
which replaces the variables - then pass it through the markdown
parser. Or maybe they passed it through markdown first, then the
template system. I'm sure one or the other could work depending upon
the needs of the specific project. Personally, this would be my
approach - rather than an extension to markdown.
