curly braces

{{<variable>}}

variable

{{<variable>:<value>}}

variable with a default value; overrides values set in #VARIABLES section or in $VARDLOCAL

{{@?:<ask>}}

prompt with <ask> for value before command execution

{{@file:<file>}}

@file -statement

name of a file (in $ANSSERDIR) to be inserted at this position

{{@include:<file>}}

@include statement:

'@include' will include the file <file> into the angel as if it were part of the angel.

The file is included before variable (options) are extracted but after the #PRECOMMAND section is executed. It allows for on-site creation of commands, either by the #PRECOMMAND section or through a command inside the angel (see angel raid1 for an example). For angel-commands creating new angel-commands, be careful with the @cmdend; use something like '@c\mdend'instead.
