The variables ----------------- Here is a :term:`structure file` example with only a variable **variable** named `proxy_mode` A variable can be defined without other informations. .. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_010/firefox/00-proxy.yml :language: yaml :caption: A Rougail structure file with a variable named `proxy_mode`, with a description. :name: RougailStructureFirstVariable .. %YAML 1.2 --- version: 1.1 proxy_mode: ... But it's better to describe this variable: .. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_011/firefox/00-proxy.yml :language: yaml :caption: A Rougail structure file with a variable named `proxy_mode`, with a description. :name: RougailStructureFirstVariableWithDescription .. %YAML 1.2 --- version: 1.1 proxy_mode: # Configure Proxy Access to the Internet ... The same with a default value: .. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_012/firefox/00-proxy.yml :language: yaml :caption: A Rougail structure file with a variable named `proxy_mode`, with a default value. :name: RougailStructureFirstVariableDefault .. %YAML 1.2 --- version: 1.1 proxy_mode: No proxy # Configure Proxy Access to the Internet ... variable A :term:`variable` is a declaration unit that represents a business domain metaphor, the most common example is that a variable that represents a configuration option in a application, but a variable represents something more that a configuration option. It provides a business domain specific representation unit. Families of variables -------------------------- family A :term:`family` is simply a container of variables and/ore some subfamilies. Here how a YAML structure file with a family looks like: .. code-block:: yaml :caption: A :file:`hello.yml` structure sample file --- version: '1.1' world: description: Hello world family container name: description: Somebody to say hello default: rougail Here, we have a family named `world`. This family contains a variable named `name`
