Inside code blocks you can also assign values to variables. Assignments use
-the ``set`` tag and can have multiple targets:

+Here is how you can assign the ``bar`` value to the ``foo`` variable:
.. code-block:: jinja
- {% set foo = 'foo' %}
+ {% set foo = 'bar' %}
- {% set foo = [1, 2] %}
+After the ``set`` call, the ``foo`` variable is available in the template like
+any other ones:
- {% set foo = {'foo': 'bar'} %}
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {# displays bar #}
+ {{ foo }}
+The assigned value can be any valid :ref:`Twig expressions
+<twig-expressions>`:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {% set foo = [1, 2] %}
+ {% set foo = {'foo': 'bar'} %}
{% set foo = 'foo' ~ 'bar' %}
+Several variables can be assigned in one block:
+
{% set foo, bar = 'foo', 'bar' %}
+ {# is equivalent to #}
+
+ {% set foo = 'foo' %}
+ {% set bar = 'bar' %}
+
The ``set`` tag can also be used to 'capture' chunks of text:
.. code-block:: jinja
{% set foo %}
- <div id="pagination">
- ...
- </div>
+ <div id="pagination">
+ ...
+ </div>
{% endset %}
