var
Syntax
var $name=value;
Description
Declare a local or global variable. A variable
is global if it is defined outside of any template. Otherwise, it
is local. The value of a global variable is accessible anywhere in
the style sheet. The scope of a local variable is limited to the template
or code block in which it is defined. Variables declared in this manner
are immutable. You initialize a variable by following the variable
name with an equal sign (=) and an expression.
Attributes

Specifies the name of the variable. After declaration, the variable can be referred to within expressions using this name, including the $ character. |
value |
Defines the default value for the variable, which is used if the person or client application that executes the script does not explicitly provide a value. |
