[Pmwiki-users] $Name versus $Title

[Neil Herber]

Confused as ever ...

What is the difference between $Name and $Title???

The MarkupMasterIndex is great, but a few words to the right of each 
"Value" entry would help a lot.

http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/MarkupMasterIndex

For example:

{$Group}        --- displays name of group as in "Main"
{$DefaultGroup}         --- displays name of the default group as in 
"MyDefaultGroup" (usually "Main")
{$Name}         --- displays name of page as in "MarkupMasterIndex"
{$Version}      --- displays running version of PmWiki as in " 
pmwiki-2.0.beta14"
{$Author}       --- displays name of last person to change page as in 
"FredSmith" ??? or is it the original author???
{$LastModified}         --- displays date when page was last modified as in 
"January 05, 2005, at 10:17 AM "
{$LastModifiedBy}       --- displays name of last person to change page as 
in "FredSmith"
{$LastModifiedHost}     --- displays IP number of last host to change page 
as in "192.168.1.2"
{$Title}        --- displays title of webmaster as in "King of all Wikis" 
????? obviously not!!

Note that all of these work in the body of a page **except** for $Title.

It should either work in the body, or be classed as something other than a 
Markup "value". I have posted a comment like this twice to PITS, but it 
seems to get lost in the shuffle. ;->

Yet another question: is a "value" just a "variable"?  Why have two names? 
(Oops, that's 2 questions!)
