Create a new project (in my case qmake hello world, but I guess this is independent of the type). When the wizard presents the .h and .cpp templates, enter some variables: $MODULE$, $AUTHOR$ and $YEAR$ in my case. Finish the new project. Then look at the generated templates: $MODULE$ is still there, but $AUTHOR$ and $YEAR$ are replaced by my name and the current year.
This is wrong: All variables should be replaced when a new file is created from the template, and not when the template is created. After all, this is the purpose of the variables, and you can't know in advance when a new file will be created, nor in a multi developer project who will do this.
