Variables

Define variables used by %name% references in the template. Structured mode is friendlier for casual use; raw mode accepts the canonical #set / #def syntax (with spintax inside values allowed). #set re-rolls its value at every reference; #def rolls once and holds.

Press Generate to render variants. Leftover markers in the output are underlined — usually that means a variable is missing.

Quick reference

{a|b|c} — enumeration, picks one option.
[<minsize=2;maxsize=3;sep=", ";lastsep=" and ">a|b|c|d] — permutation, shuffles and joins.
%name% — variable reference.
{?VAR?then|else} — conditional, shows then if %VAR% is truthy, else otherwise. Use {?!VAR?…} to invert.
{plural %N%: one|many} — plural agreement. This page renders with the English 2-form rule; the Russian playground demonstrates the 3-form rule.
#set %name% = value — declare a helper (one per line, line-start). A macro: the value is re-substituted, and re-rolled, at every reference.
#def %name% = value — same shape, rolled once per render and held everywhere. Use it when a value must stay the same across references — a plural count, or anything hoisted into a plural form slot.
/# comment #/ — stripped before rendering.
