## Config

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: aspect
  TV Shows:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: aspect
```

## Template Variables

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.

Note that the `template_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

    === "File-Specific Template Variables"

        The below template variables are available specifically for this PMM Defaults file.

        Be sure to also check out the "Shared Template Variables" tab for additional variables.

        This file contains a [Separator](../separators.md) so all [Shared Separator Variables](../separators.md#shared-separator-variables) are available as well.

        1. Each default collection has a `key` that when calling to effect a specific collection you must replace `<<key>>` with when calling.

    ### Example Template Variable Amendments

    The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

        Anywhere you see this icon:
      
        > :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus:
      
        That's a tooltip, you can press them to get more information.

    ```yaml
    libraries:
      Movies:
        collection_files:
          - pmm: aspect
            template_variables:
              use_1.65: false #(1)!
              sep_style: plum #(2)!
    ```

    1.  Do not create a "1.65 - Early Widescreen" collection
    2.  Use the plum [Separator Style](../separators.md#separator-styles)
