LOCAL_VARIABLE

This element is similar to a VARIABLE element, except that its lifetime is limited to the scope of its parent node in the XML tree: when its parent node is closed, the variable is destroyed.

	value	value of the variableThis is the value that will replace the '$id$' string everywhere in the skin	empty
	formula	The formula can reference other static variables that have been defined previously. The result of the formula is stored in the variable at the declaration of the variable and is not updated later, even if other variables it depends on are changedThis attributes overrides the "value" attribute when set	empty
	script	Script that returns a string that defines the new value of the variable. It can use functions that have been defined in the build_time_script_include file (but not other runtime function defined in runtime scripts). It can also refer to build time variables that have been defined beforeThis attributes overrides the "value" and "formula" attribute when set. It is currently experimental.	empty
	override	override previously defined valueSetting this to true removes the warning that is normally thrown when a variable is defined twice	false
