+``set``
+=======
+
+Inside code blocks you can also assign values to variables. Assignments use
+the ``set`` tag and can have multiple targets.
+
+Here is how you can assign the ``bar`` value to the ``foo`` variable:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {% set foo = 'bar' %}
+
+After the ``set`` call, the ``foo`` variable is available in the template like
+any other ones:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {# displays bar #}
+ {{ foo }}
+
+The assigned value can be any valid :ref:`Twig expressions
+<twig-expressions>`:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {% set foo = [1, 2] %}
+ {% set foo = {'foo': 'bar'} %}
+ {% set foo = 'foo' ~ 'bar' %}
+
+Several variables can be assigned in one block:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {% set foo, bar = 'foo', 'bar' %}
+
+ {# is equivalent to #}
+
+ {% set foo = 'foo' %}
+ {% set bar = 'bar' %}
+
+The ``set`` tag can also be used to 'capture' chunks of text:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {% set foo %}
+ <div id="pagination">
+ ...
+ </div>
+ {% endset %}
+
+.. caution::
+
+ If you enable automatic output escaping, Twig will only consider the
+ content to be safe when capturing chunks of text.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Note that loops are scoped in Twig; therefore a variable declared inside a
+ ``for`` loop is not accessible outside the loop itself:
+
+ .. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {% for item in list %}
+ {% set foo = item %}
+ {% endfor %}
+
+ {# foo is NOT available #}
+
+ If you want to access the variable, just declare it before the loop:
+
+ .. code-block:: jinja
+
+ {% set foo = "" %}
+ {% for item in list %}
+ {% set foo = item %}
+ {% endfor %}
+
+ {# foo is available #}
