Variables and Non-variables Discovered by Various Means

Anything here should be used with caution, unless you find other documentation for it somewhere.

Variables can apparently be escaped by either !%TOPIC%, as advertized, or %<nop>TOPIC% which seems to be necessary, at least sometimes, if multiple variables occur in a single word.

Although there's a deceptively shorter list somewhere else, much but not all of what I dicovered here, is at TWikiVariables. See also TWikiDocGraphics.

It seems necessary to use <nop> to make the following multi-variable sequences appear uninterpreted.
