Variables are placeholders for textual content. The variable is placed within topics and will be replaced by its current value at generation time. They can be useful in multiple situations:

• When an information is not yet known or is subject to change, such as a product which is in the development phase and whose name is not yet known;
• When the generated documentation has multiple targets: it is possible to override variables for each documentation build generated by HelpNDoc thus generating multiple variations of a documentation;
