[pmwiki-users] Wiki trail in template header and footer

[DaveG]

I may be using this wrongly. Declaring the markup below will create a 
variable. *How do I reference it in the tmpl?* I tried a few ways, but 
all failed, so I'm not sure if I'm using the markup incorrectly or 
referencing incorrectly.

I'm using this markup:
 >   Markup('^trail:', 'directives',
 >     '/^trail:(.*)/e',
 >     "\$GLOBALS['TrailSource']='$1'");

In a wiki-page I put:
    trail:xyz

The output of the page displays "xyz".

I tried referencing using:
    $GLOBAL['TrailSource']
and
    <!wiki:$GLOBALS['TrailSource']-->
and
    <!markup:$GLOBALS['TrailSource']-->

At this point you can probably tell, I have no clue :)
