Predefined variables

User's defined variables

A variable is defined as an identifier following a \$ symbol. An identifier is either a sequence of alphanumeric characters following an alphabetic character, or an identifier enclosed in matching parens or brackets. Hence \$ident, \$(ident), or \${ident} are variables.

A variable can be bound either in the system environment or in the Htmlc compiler's environment. System bound variables are enclosed by < and >. Hence, <\$ident>, <\$(ident)>, or <\${ident}> are system's variables. All other variables are compiler's environment bound.
