-TWikiVariables are text strings enclosed in percentage signs: <code>**%VARIABLE%**</code> that represent stored data. When a topic is rendered for viewing, defined variables are replaced by their actual values. TWiki has two types of variable, predefined and Preference-based, where usually you determine the content. Through Preference variables, you can also define custom variables, creating new variable name and value. TWiki variables are as simple to use as they are powerful, and vice versa!
+_Special text strings expand on the fly to display user data or system info_
-### <a name="Predefined Variables"></a> Predefined Variables
+TWikiVariables are text strings - `%VARIABLE%` - that expand into content whenever a page is opened. When a topic is rendered for viewing, `VARIABLES` are replaced by data, either user-entered, or info automatically generated by TWiki (like the date, or the current username). There are predefined variables, and Preference variables that you configure. You can also define custom variables, with new names and values.
-With a couple of notable exceptions, predefined variables return set values that are defined one-time on installation and left alone. Most are directory names and file paths, customized for your server, and only have to be updated once in the main configuration file if your server set-up changes.
+## <a name="Predefined Variables"></a> Predefined Variables
-%WIKITOOLNAME% expands the following variables enclosed in % percent signs:
+Most predefined variables return values that were either set in the <code>**lib/twiki.cfg**</code> file, when TWiki was installed, or taken from server info (like current username, or date and time). Many of the variables let you format the appearance of the display results.

+- %T% **Take the time to thoroughly read through ALL preference variables.** If you actively configure your site, review variables periodically. They cover a wide range of functions, and it can be easy to miss the one perfect variable for something you have in mind. For example, see <code>**%INCLUDINGTOPIC%**</code>, <code>**%INCLUDE%**</code>, and the mighty <code>**%SEARCH%**</code>.
