Not yet. The basic recognized tags are:

%in : the input file
%out : the output file
%psl : the paper size in lower case (letter, a4, ...)
%psu : the paper size with the first letter as uppercase (Letter, A4, ...)

You can also have more advanced features by using the XML commands, and
the command builder. The 3 recognized tags are then:

%filterargs : replaced by the user-selected options
%filterin : the input data (file or pipe)
%filterout : the output data (file or pipe)

Each IO spec has 2 forms, whether it's associated with a file or a pipe.
For example, using ghostscript, output to a file would correspond to
'-sOutputFile=%out', and to a pipe '-sOutputFile=-'.

Finally, for each user-selectable option, you can use the tag %value that
will be replaced by the actual choice of the user.

But the best is to look at an example, like the ps2pdf filter.

Bye.
Michael.
