Substitution for each text block

Hello guys,

is it possible to set a substitution to a text block style such as literal block without explicitly write it on each block.
I would like to know if there is some kind of attribute or a way to do something like.

= Title
:value: 42
:literal-subs: normal

- text

lalala

my value is :value:

- text2

lalala

value is still :value:

so i would not have to set

[literal, subs="normal"]

on each block

You can accomplish this using a Treeprocessor. Just visit each of the literal blocks and change the subs property. You can use this extension as a starting point: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-extensions-lab/blob/master/lib/shell-session-treeprocessor/extension.rb

To set the subs, you need to use:

block.subs.replace [:normal]

I've thought about the idea of adding a global switch to the syntax, but I'm concerned it would break portability and be hard for tooling to support properly. It's better to be explicit.

Cheers,
