Oops. Forgot about that. (In my original comment when I remarked that
the variable substitution code was already in htdig (htsearch), I was
thinking about the HTML templates used for search results.)

I'd say use a different token scheme, but hopefully one that will
still work with the existing variable (string) substitution code so
you can reuse that code.
external_parser: application/ms-word "mswordparser -w %infile"
