inline evaluation of python variables in markdown?

[jgunstone]

it would be awesome to be able to do something like this:

# python cell
x = "apples"

some **markdown** text with {eval}`x`

renders as:
some markdown text with apples

ideally similar syntax to quarto-equations.

this is currently supported in mystmd - though there is lots of awesome quarto functionality I require for my project.

I did look at quarto-embed to provide this functionality, the issues I had were:

• my application is aimed at less tech-savvy users who like WYSISYG - lack of rendering in the authoring tool is confusing to them

- I'd like to be able to create inline expressions, which isn't possible. e.g.

thanks for the awesome tool - the more I use quarto the more I love it!
