I posted a similar question recently but either it was to stupid or unclear:

Quotes are substituted before attributes but are not substituted in
attribute values at the definition so quotes inside attribute
definitions are not substituted. See
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_document_processing.
I was in the same situation: I liked to have a sort of preprocessor, so
I can write new asciidoc-commands with asciidoc itself and not as
backend-specific stuff.
The first thing I did was a awk-script that replaces pseudo-macros like
...
#src <arg> <arg>
...
with some asciidoc commands. That works quite well, but has the
drawback, that errors/warnings from asciidoc are possibly displaced if
the above macro expands into multiple lines.
As I wanted to do more than this I started a real preprocessor
(implemented in Qt/C++) for asciidoc. It is in a very early state - far
from being usable to others than me ;-) Aside from handling macros like
source::<file>[<tag1>,<tag2>,...]
call::[<command>,<tag1>,...]
shell::[<shell command>]
(where <tag1>, ... selects tags in the souce file or the output to be
extracted)
or
doc:<classname>[<package>]
class:<classname>[<srcpath>, ...]
or
checking reachability of http:<url>[] and other content-assertions it
invokes asciidoc on the fly, parses and recalculates messages (even with
includes).
As you can imagine its main purpose is to simplify the life with
source-code documentation ;-)
Additionaly I'm planning / writing a specialized editor with
autocompletion features for source-files and their tags, display of
urls, verifying callouts,... as well as syntaxhighlighting for asciidoc
itself and listingblocks, etc. Actually, this piece isn't usable at all.
8<-----------------------------------------------------------------
is there a way to make an attribute definition like
:km: K~m~
be expanded correctly (i.e. with a `m' subcript) if referenced somewhere
in the text via {km}?
8<-----------------------------------------------------------------
the problem is, the above attribute is expanded verbatim in the running
text, i.e. I end up
(in the html or pdf formatted document)
with a verbatim `K~m~' replacing the reference `{km}'. what I _actually_
want is an expansion
of the definition, i.e. `K' with a subscript. that's what a corresponding
`\newcommand' in latex
would do, of course.
Try making the attribute value an inline pass macro with a specified
quotes substitution as suggested in
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#X18 which refers to
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#X77.
