Asciidoc does not do *input* substitutions, it is intended to only do *output* substitutions. I understand From Stuart that this is because Asciidoc was first developed on Linux where there are many substitution tools already, and the paradigm of chaining multiple tools is well established. So you can use your favourite specialist substitution tool before asciidoc, rather than provide such a facility as part of Asciidoc where it was likely to have fewer features and would need maintaining.
That bit of backstory doesn't help you much of course, unless you can indeed use a pre-asciidoc stage to do the substitutions. Or even an all-change in your editor. Unfortunately the processing order can't now be changed since it will change the semantics of the language and may break existing docs.
