Ahh! Thank you. That is not clear from HelpOnVariables. May I suggest
a change:

-You can use Home``Page``Name/My``Dict to expand those variables, just put a
dictionary (see HelpOnDictionaries) there with your variables and values. For
example,
+If the builtin variables are not enough, you can define new variables by
creating a sub-page of your home page with a dictionary of variables in it.
For example, if your username is !JohnDoe, you would create page
!JohnDoe/!MyDict with the following content:
{{{
- VAR1:: substitution 1
- VAR2:: substitution 2
+ VAR1:: some random text
+ VAR2:: use ''any'' wiki markup
}}}
-
+Then, whenever you edit a page, you can use [EMAIL PROTECTED]@` or [EMAIL
PROTECTED] to expand to the text in that dictionary.

Hmmm. I just tried something like this in a test wiki running 1.8.0rc1.
Putting wiki markup in a variables works fine if I expand at save time
with @[EMAIL PROTECTED] But if I use <<GetVal>>, the wiki markup is rendered
literally in the output HTML.
Explanation: page "gward/MyDict" contains just
"""
NAME:: Greg
HOMEPAGE:: [[http://www.gerg.ca/|my personal home page]]
"""
When I edit a page to say
Please visit @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
it works; the wiki markup is inserted into the page text and then
processed into HTML when the page is rendered. But if I put this in a
page:
Please visit <<GetVal(gward/MyDict, HOMEPAGE)>>
then the HTML looks like
Please visit [[http://www.gerg.ca/|my personal home page]]
Oops!
Greg
