In my view, a new `directive for substitution definitions`__ would be more in line with the existing reStructuredText syntax. Usually, a rst `role` changes the meaning of the content while a rst `substitution` replaces the content. How about a new directive "echo" that expands environment variables: .. |LANG| echo:: $LANG The value of the environment variable LANG is |LANG|.
