Using capture, you can create complex strings using other variables created with assign:

Input

{% assign favorite_food = "pizza" %}
{% assign age = 35 %}

{% capture about_me %}
I am {{ age }} and my favorite food is {{ favorite_food }}.
{% endcapture %}

{{ about_me }}

Output

I am 35 and my favorite food is pizza.
