h3. Variables

The templates make use of variables, which are written entirely in capitals by convention, and surrounded by square brackets. For example: [SALUTATION]. Variables may be styled in arbitrary ways (e.g. bold text, etc) and the style will be retained when they are substituted with values. Each template type has its own set of supported variables.
