1. Variable definition 🔗

In NML you can defines variables and call them later.

Currently, two types of variables are supported:

• Text variables: Just simple text
• Path variables: Path aware variables, that will display an error if the path doesn't exist or is not accessible

To define a variable use the following syntax:

@var = value

:: Text variable

@'my_file = ./pic.png

:: Path variable

Variable names cannot contain % or =. However variables values can span across multiple lines:

@var = A\

B

:: var == "AB"

@var = A\\

B

:: var == "A\nB"

Using a single \'s will ignore the following newline, using two \\'s will keep the newline.

2. Variable substitution 🔗

Once variables have been defined, you can call them to be expanded to their content:

@var = Hello, World!

:: Definition

%var%

:: Substitution

Expanded variables will be processed by the parser to display their content, as if you had written the variable's value directly.
