+### Referencing Packaging Metadata
+
+If the final contains the string `$HFPR_VERSION`, it is replaced by the current package version.
+
+When running *hatch-fancy-pypi-readme* in CLI mode (as described in the next section), packaging metadata is not available.
+In that case `$HFPR_VERSION` is hardcoded to `42.0` so you can still test your readme.

 ## CLI Interface
 
 For faster feedback loops, *hatch-fancy-pypi-readme* comes with a CLI interface that takes a `pyproject.toml` file as an argument and renders out the readme that would go into respective package.
