In JSPWiki 2.2, the variable system has been enhanced somewhat. You can use the "SET" -directive on any of your own pages to set a variable that exists only in the page.

For example:

[{SET foo='bar'}]

creates you a variable called "foo", which has the value of "bar". You can access this value anywhere on your page by using the shorthand "[{$foo}]".

JSPWiki also defines all kinds of other variables, and tags and plugins can also add their own variables. For example, see the Counter plugin. The following variable are preset by JSPWiki:

applicationname#

This is the name of this Wiki. It has been set by the administrator in "jspwiki.properties". This Wiki is called RSF Wiki.

baseurl#

encoding#
