-The *Variable* text token (% Variable%) allows you to include a variable in a token text field.  For Example,
+{{:token:variable-icon.png |}}
+The //%Variable%//`<VariableName>`% token allows you to include a [[:Variables|variable]] in a [[:Text Fields |token text field]], where `<VariableName>` is the name of the variable.
-Insert Text: Sally said "Hello" to %Variable%First Name%.
-You can also use a short form of just %Variable Name% to include variables as long as the variable exists and has a value and there is no corresponding text token, although generally it is better and clearer to use the longer form %Variable%Variable Name%.
+For Example, using the [[action:Insert_Text|Insert Text]] Action:
+{{ :token:km-wiki-insert-text-action.png?nolink |}}
+You can (v7.2+) access a variable as if it is a comma separated array of text using the notation //%Variable%//`<VariableName>[3]`% where 3 can be any [[manual:Calculations|Calculations]].  You can use a different item separator by putting the text between the ] and % characters, eg //%Variable%//`<VariableName>[3]:`%.
+You can also use a short form of just //%Variable Name%// to include variables as long as the variable exists and has a value and there is no corresponding text token, although generally it is better and clearer to use the longer form //%Variable%Variable Name%//.
