Hi

In development languages I'm used to defining various constants values in the files, but I couldn't find such in Therion
Have you considered adding this feature?

For example I use the cave name in several places in the .th and .thc files. Then for the next cave I usually copy the template and change the name in all the places it is mentioned. This will be easier to do with a constant value that is changed only in one place.

Something like this:

=== in TH files ===
DEFINE %NAME%='My cave name'

survey %NAME% -title "%NAME% cave<br> located somewhere<lang:bg>Пещера %NAME%<br>..."
...
  input %NAME%.th2
endsurvey

=== in THC files ===
layout ZZZ
  map-comment "The %NAME% is a very nice cave, etc, etc"
endlayout
export map -projection extended -output %NAME%-xelev.pdf
export map -projection plan -output %NAME%-plan.pdf

So you can change the DEFINE %NAME% only at the begining of the file and the value will be reflected when compiling in every place the %NAME% is used.

Or am I too picky
