Template Variables

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.

Note that the template_variables: section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

??? abstract "Variable Lists (click to expand)"

* **File-Specific Template Variables** are variables available specifically for this PMM Defaults file.

* **Shared Template Variables** are additional variables shared across the PMM Defaults.

* **Shared Separator Variables** are additional variables available since this Default contains a 
[Separator](../separators.md).

    `<<key>>` with when calling.

???+ example "Example Template Variable Amendments"

The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: aspect
        template_variables:
          use_1.65: false #(1)!
          sep_style: plum #(2)!
```

1.  Do not create a "1.65 - Early Widescreen" collection
2.  Use the plum [Separator Style](../separators.md#separator-styles)
