+### <a name="About Variables"></a> About Variables
+
+TWikiVariables are text strings enclosed in percentage signs: <code>**%VARIABLE%**</code> that represent stored data. When a topic is rendered for viewing, defined variables replaced by their actual values. TWiki has two types of variable, predefined, and Preference-based, where you can change settings. Through Preference variables, you can even define custom variables. Clearly, they are a power TWiki feature.

-**_Notes:_**
+### <a name="Setting Variable Preferences"></a> Setting Variable Preferences
+
+- The syntax for Preferences variables is the same anywhere in TWiki. In Edit mode, from the start of a new line: <br />[6 spaces] \* [space] Set [space] VARIABLENAME [space] = [value] <br />**_Example:_**
+ - <code>**Set VARIABLENAME = value**</code>
+
+### <a name="Creating Custom Variables"></a> Creating Custom Variables
-- Preferences variables ( on site-level, web-level and user level ) are defined by bullet lines with this syntax:
- - `Set VARIABLENAME = value`
-- Additional preferences variables can be defined on all three level as needed. Example:
- - `Set MYLOGO = %PUBURLPATH%/%MAINWEB%/LogoTopic/logo.gif`
+- You can add your own preference variables for an entire site, a single web, or a single topic, using the standard syntax. Whatever you include in your variable will be expanded on display, and treated exactly as if it had been written out. So you can place formatted text, page links, image paths.<br />**_Example:_** To place a logo anywhere in a web by typing <code>**%MYLOGO%**</code>, define the variable in the web's [[WebPreferences]] topic, like this (in this case, you also have to upload <code>**logo.gif**</code> to the same directory):
+ - <code>**Set MYLOGO = %PUBURLPATH%/%MAINWEB%/LogoTopic/logo.gif**</code>
