Example page (mypage.htm):

title = "Example page"
url = "/mypage"
layout = "default"

function onStart()
{
    $this['foo'] = 'bar';
}
==

Example layout (default.htm):

description = "Default layout"
==
function onEnd()
{
    echo "I have access to " . $this['foo'] . " here";
}
==
The variable from the page is {{ foo }}
