Description
I want to add automatic generated values from build process into my MD files (i.e. versions determined while build) without the need to implement an own extension. Referencing those values i.e. as
<!-- AUTO-GENERATED-CONTENT:START (ENV:name=myFooVariable) -->
<!-- AUTO-GENERATED-CONTENT:END -->
would allow me to add variable like
myFooVariable=42 md-magic --path './**/*.md'

Research direction
The issue names no implementation file or test. Start by locating the comment-block processing entry point in markdown-magic and trace how custom transforms or external data are handled. Done should be an ENV:name reference that expands from a shell-provided variable, such as myFooVariable=42, when processing the selected Markdown files.
