-There are a few more features that have not been covered yet. The first important one is including links in your template. This is achieved by wrapping an address in double square brackets such as “[[www.google.com]]”. We also allow link captions that are different from the address, by including a vertical bar: “[[www.google.com|Google Website]]”+There are a few more features that have not been covered yet.

 Variables can also be formatted according to a bunch of specific rules. In order to pass the variable to be formatted the code looks like $username(>​upper) which will pass the username to the ‘upper’ function (will look something like “JOSH”). The complete list of current functions available is: upper (upper-case),​ lower (lower-case),​ u2s (underscores to spaces), ucwords (upper-case first letter of each word), ucfirst (upper-case only first letter), and empty (coverts to nothing – which is sometimes useful when combined with the missing variable syntax). Variables can also be formatted according to a bunch of specific rules.

-The ternary operator is also available as a formatting function. We use the C syntax with <​test>​ ? <if true> : <if false>. If the <if true> section is not specified it defaults to being the same as the <​test>​. This is all most easily demonstrated with sample code.+The [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Ternary_operation|ternary operator]] is also available as a formatting function.
