[daisy] Context Sensitive Variables

In some documentation I'm writing, I have a set of instructions that looks
something like this:

<p>Perform the following steps</p>
  <ol>
    <li>
      Step 1: Click button "A"
    </li>
    <li>
      Step 2: Browse to directory "C:\somedirectory"
    </li>
    <li>
      Step 3: Open the file "somefile.txt"
    </li>
  </ol>
<p>Now you're done</p>

This set of instructions is repeated almost exactly in about 30 documents,
but the directory in step 2 and the file in step 3 change in each document.

So my question is: would it be possible to set these instructions as a
single variable, but still be able to change the directory and filename on
each document? I considered setting it up as three separate variables, where
I could then manually insert the directory and filename, but ideally I would
like to be able to keep the directory and filename within the same set of
<li> tags that they're currently.

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
