+- Variable assignments:
+
+ When assigning a variable as output from a keyword, do not precede the
+ equal sign with a space.
+
+ Correct examples:
+ ```
+ ${var1}= Set Variable ${1}
+ ${var1}= My Keyword
+ ```
+ Incorrect examples:
+
+ ```
+ ${var1} = Set Variable ${1}
+ ${var1} = My Keyword
+ ```
- General variable naming conventions:
- Variable names should be lower case with few exceptions:
- Environment variables should be all upper case.
