dplvar

Syntax

• Sets one symbolic variable name and assign a value:

{{#dplvar:set|varname|valueofvar}}

• Sets multiple symbolic variable names and assigns values to them (one after the other):

{{#dplvar:set|name1|value1|name2|value2|..|..}}

• Assigns a value only if the variable is empty / has not been used so far:

{{#dplvar:default|name|value}}

• Returns the current value of the variable:

{{#dplvar:name}}

 

Note: Variables can be set and retrieved from an article, or from templates used in that article.

Example 1, Part 1:

This sets a variable, names it "varName", and then assigns the value "My Value" to it.
Note: The result is empty because setting a variable simply assigns a value, it doesn't also display that variable.

{{#dplvar:set|varName|My Value}}

Example 1, Part 2:

This displays the (already set above) value of the variable called "varName".

{{#dplvar:varName}}
