# Variables or dynamic value in display posts shortcode

 * Hello
   Two questions :
    1. First, is it possible to insert a variable or dynamic value into the display
       posts shortcode ? It seems possible to include the author (with _current _word,
       I think, but I’m not sure). If yes, is it possible to know what are the variables
       we can use ?
    2. If possible, how can we do that ? A shortcode into the shortcode? Something 
       else ?
 * Thanks a lot for your help
 * JA

 * Hi JA,
 * I think what you’re looking for is [the output filter](https://displayposts.com/docs/the-output-filter/),
   which lets you completely customize the output of this shortcode.
