Percentage sign

Hi All, 
I am a storyline user, but recently while trying my hands on to learn something new, i got stuck with below problem. 
What is percentage mark in storyline used for? For example, in a text box, there is written %hello% like this. I want to know the relevance of it. Can anyone please help and guide me?

  • Great question.  Percentage signs on each end of a word are used to recall a variable value.  You can also insert variable reference, by using  insert/reference from the ribbon.  You typically no longer see the percentage marks in the story text any more, unless you are referencing a variable that does not exist.
