With these variables one can loop through databases or carts, set the variables and use them afterwards throughout the page, regardless of their final position (improves flexibility and performance): [lineitems] [var YourLastItem=[TextA]] [/lineitems] ...many many code... Yup, [var YourLastItem] was the last you added!
