Markup Variables
Markup variables are used for macro-replacement in
!define variablename {value}
and then use it anywhere in the page with this syntax:
Unlike symbols, markup variables can be used also as a part of a cell. Note that variables are processed in
!define town {Houston}
!|ColumnFixtureTest|
|firstPart|secondPart|together?|
|Hello|World|Hello, World|
||We Have a Problem|, We Have a Problem|
Markup variables are especially useful to extract a common value to a single place, so that it can be changed easily. They can also be used to parameterise included pages. For example, you can write a test component that is frequently used, and then call it with different parameter values by using markup variables. See http://fitnesse.org<UserGuide.ParameterizedIncludes for an example.
