Hello there, visitor from planet Earth
{{

A three by three grid of values:
| (x=1, y=1) |
(x=1, y=2) |
(x=1, y=3) |
| (x=2, y=1) |
(x=2, y=2) |
(x=2, y=3) |
| (x=3, y=1) |
(x=3, y=2) |
(x=3, y=3) |
{%
for x=1, 3, 1 do
%}
<tr>
{%
for y=1, 3, 1 do
%}
<td>(x=
{{
x
}}, y=
{{
y
}}
)</td>
{%
end
%}
</tr>
{%
end
%}
After the nested for loop:
The value of x is now 3
{{
x
}}
The value of y is now 3
{{
y
}}
All template variables are global to all templates being rendered. i.e. this template, the parent template and the parent of that template, and any templates that were included anywhere by any of those templates.
Also, block names and argument names are in the same namespace; You can replace a block of a template the same way you set variables of a template. See lua source at top.
--replaced by a block--
{%
block replaced
%}
gibberish
{%
endblock
%}
The answer to the universe and everything is: 42
