I have a simple issue I'm sure has been solved, but I don't seem to be phrasing my searches right.

In short, I want to enter data once, and then quote/refer to it in the visible text of a page. Specifically, I want to enter ISBN numbers once and refer to them in two different places. One ISBN number will be for the e-book edition (and thus is in the opf metadata), and the other is for the paperback edition (and thus is not in the metadata).

It seems like I could create a custom metadata field to use for the paperback ISBN, but in any case, I can't figure out how to echo that data back in my selected location.

Suggestions welcome, inc. pointers to threads that solve this.
