-##  TWiki Variables 
+##  TWikiPlugin Formatting Extensions 
 
-Variables are names that are enclosed in percent signs `%` that are expanded on the fly.
+Plugins provide additional text formatting capabilities and can extend the functionality of %WIKITOOLNAME% into many other areas. For example, the optional [SpreadSheetPlugin](http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/SpreadSheetPlugin) lets you create a spreadsheet with the same basic notation used in TWiki tables.
 
-* %TOC% : Automatically generates a table of contents based on headings in a topic - see the top of this page for an example.
-
-* %WEB% : The current web, is **%WEB%**.
-
-* %TOPIC% : The current topic name, is **%TOPIC%**.
-
-* %ATTACHURL% : The attachment URL of the current topic. Example usage: If you attach a file to a topic you can refer to it as **%ATTACHURL%/image.gif** to show the URL of the file or the image in your text.
-
-* %INCLUDE\{"SomeTopic"\}% : Server side include, includes another topic. The current %WIKITOOLNAME% web is the default web. Example: **%INCLUDE\{"%TWIKIWEB%.TWikiWebsTable"\}%**
-
-* There are many more variables, see **[[TWikiVariables]]**.
-
-##  Common Editing Errors 
-
-TWiki formatting rules are fairly simple to use and quick to type. However, there are some things to watch out for, taken from the [[TextFormattingFAQ]]:
-
-* **Q:** Text enclosed in angle brackets like `` is not displayed. How can I show it as it is?
-  * **A:** The `'<'` and `'>'` characters have a special meaning in HTML, they define HTML tags. You need to escape them, so write `'<'` instead of `'<'`, and `'>'` instead of `'>'`. 
 Example: Type `'prog <filename>'` to get `'prog '`.
-
-* **Q:** Why is the `'&'` character sometimes not displayed?
-  * **A:** The `'&'` character has a special meaning in HTML, it starts a so called character entity, ex: `'©'` is the `©` copyright character. You need to escape `'&'` to see it as it is, so write `'&'` instead of `'&'`. 
 Example: Type `'This & that'` to get `'This & that'`.

-##  TWiki Plugins

-Plugins provide additional text formatting capabilities and can extend the functionality of %WIKITOOLNAME% into many other areas. For example, one optional Plugin lets you create a basic spreadsheet in a similar way to tables. Available Plugins are located in the [[TWikiPlugins]] web on TWiki.org.
