__Notes:__
	* A preference is defined as: <br> =6 spaces * Set NAME = value= <br> Example:
		* S<nop>et WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
	* Preferences are used as %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
		* When you write variable =%WEB<nop>BGCOLOR%= , it gets expanded to =%WEBBGCOLOR%= .
	* The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set =<nop>WEBCOPYRIGHT= before =<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER= since =%<nop>WEBCOPYRIGHT%= uses the =%<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER%= variable.
	* You can introduce new variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the %WIKITOOLNAME% engine (Perl scripts).

	* %MAINWEB%.%WIKIUSERSTOPIC% has a list of user topics. User topics can have optional user preferences.
	* %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables has a list of common =%<nop>VARIABLES%= .
