I'm having problems defining custom variables on a page following the instructions in HelpOnVariables. I think there is definitely a doc bug in there; that page is not very clear on what is possible, never mind how to do it.
First: from the wording in HelpOnVariables, it's not even clear that I *can* define custom variables. The section header "Expanding Variables" is ambiguous: to most programmers, "expanding" a variable means, for example, replacing "@USERNAME@" with "gward". But it's also possible for it to mean "expand the set of variables by defining new ones". That is kind of what it sounds like. If so, I would suggest rewriting this section as: """ == Defining New Variables == You can add your own custom variables to any page. Just create a new sub-page called `MyDict` and enter a dictionary of custom variables there (see HelpOnDictionaries). For example, to add variables `REVIEWER` and `REVIEW_DATE` to `MyPage`, create `MyPage/MyDict` and give it content like {{{ REVIEWER:: JohnDoe REVIEW_DATE:: 2008-10-20 }}} """ Is that correct? Second: if that *is* correct, it doesn't seem to work in 1.8.0rc1. At any rate, I have created a "/MyDict" subpage and am unable to access those variable values using <<GetVal()>>. Is there a working example of this feature somewhere?
