+
+### String Literal Replacement Syntax
+
+The following string replacement syntax MAY be used:
+
+%source.key%
+
+Where **source** is a known source whose value MUST ONLY be **env** for environment variables, or **param** for parameters. The key MUST only contain the following characters A-Za-z0-9, contain at least one character and start with a letter.
+
+#### ABNF Notation
+
+```abnf
+replacement-string = "%" source "." key "%"
+source             = "env" / "param"
+key                = ALPHA *( ALPHA / DIGIT )
+```
+
+Where ALPHA and DIGIT rules are defined in [[RFC5234]].
+
+#### Environment Replacement Source
+
+When the environment replacement source is used, the key MUST match (case-sensitive) an environment variable defined for the process parsing the Overlay document. If the environment variable is not defined, the processor MAY either replace it with an empty string or return an error.
+
+#### Parameter Replacement Source
+
+When the parameter replacement source is used, the key MUST match (case-sensitive) a corresponding parameter defined for the action template.

 ### Specification Extensions
 
 While the Overlay Specification tries to accommodate most use cases, additional data can be added to extend the specification at certain points.
