Overview
Data tags are used to set variables and output results to the content.
Tags
The Value of a Variable may be Integer, Float, Date, or String, and may be defined from a literal (strings must be within double quotes), another variable (set in the template ), date part ($customDate.month), builtin (builtin.today - without preceding $), or Contact or Custom Data ($email, $customString).
The following tables include all Data related Tags.
