Global and Environment Variable Syntax

The general expression for defining environment variables has the following form

{{ var_1 | var_2 | workspace_1.var_3 | $”any alternative text” }}

The environment variable expression must aways be written between a pair of opening braces and a pair of closing braces. The spaces in the expression can be omitted (the expression can be written with or without spaces). For instance, the above expression can be written as {{var_1|var_2|var_3|$”any alternative text” }}. Adding spaces increases readability,
