About

Variables in Combostrap are first-class citizen meaning that you can use them anywhere.

The below markup will print:

  * Title: ''$title''
  * Path: ''$path''

Output

You can transform the variable by using the pipeline syntax

It will create:

The [[$path| ${h1 | cut("-","2-") | trim()} page]].

Result:

The Variables page.

The supported variable are:

path is the full qualified path of a page that can be used in a page link as reference
title - the title of the page - if empty, the h1
lead - the lead of the page (tagline)
name - the name of the page - if empty, the last part of the id
h1 - the h1 title (the first header text of the page) - if empty, the title.
description - the description - a long description
label - the label - a short description
keyword - the page keywords
date_created - the creation date
date_modified - the modification date
date_published - the publication date
date_start - the start date of an event
date_end - the end date of an event
word_count - the number of word in a page
backlink_count - the number of backlinks
type - the type of page
is_low_quality - a boolean that is set to 1 if the page is of low quality
lang - the lang of a page
is_index - a boolean that is set to 1 if the page is a index page
slug - the slug of the page
level - the level of the page in the file system tree
depth - the maximum difference between the level of the current page and the selected page (page sql only attribute)
now - the actual date (note that if the page is cached, the now date will be the date of the rendering)

And all frontmatter metadatas that are scalar (ie no array). Basically, all metadata that can be seen in the scalar metadata node of the analytics data can be used as attribute.

By default all variables are filled with the value of the requested page.

When used inside a iterator fragment, they get the values of the selected page.

You can retrieve parent page data with the hierarchical breadcrumb.
