Constants

Constants are a special type of variable, and are based on the same working principle. The difference is that they have permanent names and their content is automatically computed by n2pdf, which means it cannot be set from outside. Constants are inserted where placeholders are found in the PDF.

Note: You cannot use any names for variables that are already assigned to constants.
