Template variables or template code/language?

Is there a Canvas equivalent of Blackboard's "Template Variables"? My university is moving from Bb to Canvas and it's something I rely upon to pass information through an <iframe> to a web app. In PHP terms I guess these might also be considered a templating language and I can't find anything in these resources but I'm new here so apologies if it's asking the obvious!

Thanks -- James.
