Question

is it possible to define a variable or macro to prevent repeated printing of a block of

Answer 1

GitHub Markdown (for .md files) has variables through capture:

{% capture nameOfVariableToCapture %}any markdown here...{% endcapture %}

{{ nameOfVariableToCapture }} -- that prints the content of the variable

or from {% assign variableName = "text etc." %}.

As a test, I created https://github.com/SeLite/SeLite.github.io/blob/master/MarkdownTest.md. You can see its content at http://selite.github.io/MarkdownTest (ignore the header and footer, that comes from a framework).
