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.

???+ tip
Anywhere you see this icon:
> :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus:
That's a tooltip, you can press them to get more information.
```yaml
libraries:
Movies:
collection_files:
- pmm: director
template_variables:
data:
depth: 10 #(1)!
limit: 20 #(2)!
style: rainier #(3)!
sort_by: title.asc
use_separator: false #(4)!
tmdb_person_offset_Richard Brooks: 1 #(5)!
```
1. Check the first 10 casting credits in each movie
2. Create 20 collections maximum
3. use the [rainier Style](#rainier-style)
4. Do not create a "Directors Collections" separator
5. There are two Richard Brooks, so use the 2nd [Richard Brooks](https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Richard%20Brooks) found on TMDb
