{{$name1}} - {{$name2}} - {{$name3}}

Output:
Bobby - Ernst - and others

Combining variables and/or text:

Combine variables and text

{{$variabele1 = "Deploy"}}
{{$variabele2 = "Teq"}}

{{assign var="combined" value= "`$variabele1``$variabele2`"}}

{{$array = ["Banana", "Apple", "Pear"]}}


Output:
