[pmwiki-users] Defining a variable in a wiki page

[Tom]

Ok.. thanks for the answer.

So with conditional there are problems. How about other markup?

Like setting a class or style and reusing that one?

(:set Name tom:)
(:set Name1 red:)

>>class=$Name<<

%color=$Name1%

How about that ones? Obvious to see, the advantage of easy changing
values is seeked by me.

Best Regards,
Tom
