title: Create a local variable in Haml only
body: <p>I'm using Haml as a quick way of prototyping layouts.  This is not using Rails, Sinatra or any framework.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is declare a variable at the top and be able to call it throughout the page, similar to the way I can declare a variable in Sass and use it throughout the code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>!!! 5
    %body
      / Declare Variable
      - $type = 'Audio'
  
      .container{:id =&gt; "page-#{$type}"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is this possible?</p>
