In other words, you want to replace {$FieldName} by its contents
but not process any other markup that comes in as a result.

PmWiki doesn't have anything like that built-in, you'll have to
have some custom code to do it.  Which means that you either need
a custom markup that means "replace page variables but Keep() the
results", or a custom page variables that return text as escaped
values using Keep().

Doing it at the 'inline' stage of processing is far too late in
the sequence to protect the contents -- it has to happen very
early.
