Because you probably have a few current version numbers and things repeated throughout your documentation, Pamflet supports template properties through StringTemplate.
If a file template.properties is found in the pamflet source
directory, all Markdown sources are passed through StringTemplate with
the properties as read by java.util.Properties. This is an example
template.properties:
version=0.3.4
vrsn=034
scala=2.8.1
Properties are referenced in sources by bracketing them with the
dollar sign. In this example, occurrences of $version$ in the
Markdown source would be replaced by 0.3.4 in the HTML output.
In addition, each page may add its own properties by including a properties front matter at the beginning of the page as follows:
---
version=0.2.5
dispatch=0.8.5
---
Properties in the front matter takes precedence over the ones in
template.properties.
Once activated by the presence of the .properties file, StringTemplate
will be confused by any stray $ in your source. Always escape
dollar signs that are not template properties with a backslash: \$
