Hey,

Following is the way:

<div data-sly-test.variable123="${currentPage.name}" data-sly-unwrap></div>

And can later use it like:

<div data-sly-test="${yourName}">....${variable123}</div>

Hi Ricky,

One way to create a variable without using a data-sly-test is to use a data-sly-set that works as an assignment operator. You can create a new variable and assign it a value.

<sly data-sly-set.name="myname"></sly>

Thanks
