So far, I'm unable to get this to work -- the variable is not being replaced. I'll continue to play around with it.

I think my terminology is incorrect. I'm using it to get a variable to refer to the page on which it is written as you describe.

That's fine, but I'll still need a way to get back to the 'old' behavior' in some cases. In my case, headers and footers need to refer to the page from which they are included. Would the {*$xxx} format accommodate that? It does seem that if this is going to be the default, all the old skins will need to be updated.
