Question on scope (not the mouthwash) and another

["Hicks, Bob" <BH...@osc.uscg.mil>]

I am mucking around with rivet at work.
 
I have an index.tcl file with:
 
set titleMain "The title is main"
parse index.rvt
 
The file index.rvt has 3 includes:
 
<? include tpl/header.tpl ?>
<? include tpl/main.tpl ?>
<? include tpl/footer.tpl ?>
 
The main.tpl actually has the place where I want to put <? $titleMain ?>,
but when I run it everything shows up except for the titleMain part. Does
Rivet(tcl) file only pass variables to the file it parses?
 
The second question would be how do I get the URL param (i.e.
page=thispage)? Would that be something like:
 
if {load_header eq "thispage"} {
    # do something
} elseif {load_header eq "thatpage" {
    # do something
}

Is titleMain a variables that contains something you want to execute?  
If so, you probably need to do

     puts [$titleMain]

If it just contains what you want to emit for your title,

     puts $titleMain

or

     puts stdout $titleMain

...unless I misunderstand your intent.

Rivet doesn't automatically emit stuff returned from functions into the 
webpage.

There is a thing called load_response that will load the URL parameters 
if they're there, or the parameters sent when it's a POST.  If you 
don't specify the array name, it defaults to "response".  There might 
be some other way to do it (that load_response actually uses) but I'm 
not recalling it off the top of my head.
