Using variables in briefing and debriefing text

Seeing as HLP is down at the moment and I don't want to forget, how hard is it to allow the use of variables in the briefings and debriefings in the same way as we currently can with messages?

I'd also like to see variables available in the usage formulae for briefings and debriefings. Obviously for briefings, one would need to use persistant variables.

Ummm. They are. I tested that one today.
Did you really think I'd be asking for variables in the text if you couldn't use them in the usage formulae?
To be fair you didn't used to be able to use them so I have no idea when it was changed. You can even use non-persisent variables although it's a bit meaningless to use them in the briefing

Gah. Do you want me to finish Silent Threat: Reborn or not?

This first. Then ST:R
Seriously though I suggested it cause I imagined it was just a case of using the message code in the briefings and debriefings. If it's difficult I can wait.
I'm not that close to releasing anything that would use it except my multiplayer mission and that has a much larger variables issue that would need to be sorted anyway (clients not seeing variables)

Probably so, but it's always "one more thing".
(Thank goodness the other coders picked up my "import background" and "flip icon" tasks.
