Creating New Preference Variables

Notes:

• A preference is defined as:
  6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:

You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

• A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: [3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value
  Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):

• Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #FFE0B0 .
• The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% variable.
• You can introduce new variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

• Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFE0B0 .

• The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address.

Notes:

• A preference is defined as:
  6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #FFE0B0 .
• The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% variable.
• You can introduce new variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).
