Creating a New Variable
- To create a new Variable, first click the Variable Icon to open the Variable Editor.
- Type in the name of your new variable, and click the Add command.
- Now Edit the new variable, and assign a value to it. For example:
Roger's Heavenly Emporium of Price Saving!
Assuming you had called this variable CName, you could now place this variable in a template, using the syntax: <variable>CName</variable>
... or you could place it in a normal text box inside a page, using the syntax: :::variable-CName:::
In either case, the variable name placeholder would be replaced with the text "Roger's Heavenly Emporium of Price Saving!"
