Text variables: dynamic content

Use text variables to make the content of your site homes, category homes and space layouts dynamic – for example to personally welcome a user to your intranet.

Text variables only work in modules and macros developed by Refined.

In this example, we used $userfirstname in the primary text of a Navigation Highlight module.
