+## <a name="Creating New Preference Variable"></a> Creating New Preference Variables
-- A preference is defined as: <br />`6 spaces * Set NAME = value`<br /> Example:
+You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).
+
+- A preference is defined in a [[TWikiShorthand]] bullet item: <code>**[3 spaces] \* [space] Set NAME = value**</code><br /> Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
-- Preferences are used as [[TWikiVariables]] by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
- - When you write variable `%WEBBGCOLOR%` , it gets expanded to `%WEBBGCOLOR%` .
-- The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set `WEBCOPYRIGHT` before `WIKIWEBMASTER` since `%WEBCOPYRIGHT%` uses the `%WIKIWEBMASTER%` variable.
-- You can introduce new variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the %WIKITOOLNAME% engine (Perl scripts).
+- Preferences are used as [[TWikiVariables]] by enclosing the name in percent signs: <code>**%**</code>. Example:
+ - When you write variable <code>**%WEBBGCOLOR%**</code>, it gets expanded to `%WEBBGCOLOR%` .
+
+- %X% The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set <code>**WEBCOPYRIGHT**</code> before <code>**WIKIWEBMASTER**</code> since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address.
