Usage
{{var}} is a front-end for the HTML element <var>, which is used to denote a variable.
Parameters

-
{{var|custom text}}
Required parameter

style
- Custom text styling
You can override the default output styling by using this parameter to specify CSS properties with appropriate values.
- Note
- When entering the CSS properties and values, use the normal format, separating the property from its value with a colon (:), and ending each property:value pair with a semicolon (;), e.g.
css-property-1:value; css-property-2:value; css-property-3:value;. But, don't enclose the entry in double quotation marks ("…"). That is done automatically.
