``set``
=======

Inside code blocks you can also assign values to variables. Assignments use
the ``set`` tag and can have multiple targets:

.. code-block:: jinja

    {% set foo = 'foo' %}

    {% set foo = [1, 2] %}

    {% set foo = {'foo': 'bar'} %}

    {% set foo = 'foo' ~ 'bar' %}

    {% set foo, bar = 'foo', 'bar' %}

The ``set`` tag can also be used to 'capture' chunks of text:

.. code-block:: jinja

    {% set foo %}
      <div id="pagination">
        ...
      </div>
    {% endset %}

.. caution::

    If you enable automatic output escaping, Twig will only consider the
    content to be safe when capturing chunks of text.
