Re: Transforming portions of content or values

Thanks Rick

I understand all apart from the bit about variables, which I have not used

Please would you clarify where in the stylesheet I put the variables? Within
the parent template?
Also, not sure why the URL needs to be in variables as well?

Thanks

Charles
