+!! Using the Set Widget to Create Global Variables
+
+There are times when it makes sense to use the features of the [[SetWidget]] rather than procedures or functions to create global variables.  This can be accomplished by placing the set variable widget in a tiddler that is tagged [[$:/tags/Global|SystemTag: $:/tags/Global]].  If multiple variables are required, the set variable widget can be nested as shown here:
+
+<<<
+<div class="doc-example">
+
+```
+<$set name="myGlobalVariable" value="I am global">
+    <$set name="myOtherGlobalVariable" value="I am also a global variable.">
+    </$set>
+</$set>
+```
+</div>
