To avoid problems, also pay attention to the following:
On the other hand you can only process one variable at the same time, so
<tt>\getvariable</tt> uses the '''singular''' form and works with '''braces'''.
OK, here comes a simple example. Let's say, that we want to have variable
And don't forget:
'''Just ensure, Ensure that all variables are set, before you use them!'''
