5.8.3 Variable read

To output the value of a variable, use the template:
variable 'variableName' read
local 'variableName' read
This outputs the value of the variable ‘variableName’ to the current output. The variable name can again be formed by other generator commands, allowing associative variables. Note that if the variable name is fixed, you can use the more concise variable referencing syntax above.
