To use variables, create them in the logic tree and insert them into the text.
This can be done in a couple of clicks:
Create questions
Questions are used to show and hide parts of text, connected to particular answers.
To use questions, create them in the logic tree.
When the answer is selected, the relevant part of the text will show up. When the answer is not selected, it will not be shown in the text.
