-  * **Use global variables for display**\\ Global variables are available in column display and colour strings.
-  * **Use global variables when sorting by column**\\ Global variables are available when sorting by column. Note: if your global string is slow to process, this will severely slow down sorting. Optimise your global string for best results.
-  * **Use old style global string**\\ Instead of using the new style where variables are set as extra items/special fields, the global string is just combined with whatever string is being processed. As a result, it is slow as it has to be processed for each column for each track, rather than once per track with the new format.
-  * **Square in corner**\\ The global variable separator character, for you to copy and paste
-  * **Map colour codes**\\ Coverts characters code 3 to characters code 10 before formatting the global string; and converts them back afterwards. This half-worksaround the colour-code separators do not work in global string behaviour, but not completely as titleformatting functions taking colour codes will not work.
-  * **Make date info available**\\ Makes %_system_year%, %_system_day%, %_system_month%, %_system_day_of_week%, %_system_hour% available in global variables string.
-  * **Tab: Variables**\\ Enter your global variables string here. For new format: Use character in corner of page for separator, multiple adjacent separators are treated as one. $char(3)s will not work because foobar don't like them.
-  * **Tab: Colour**\\ Enter yor global colour string here, in the same format as the column's colour string. If a column does not use a custom colour string this one is used.
-**Note:** When entering new variables, the entire contents of the variables textbox is parsed by foobar2000 as a single string, then split at the $char(3)s. This means that you cannot reference the variable in later variables, but you can store information using $put and $puts.
+===== Globals =====
+This section contains settings relating to the [[columns_ui:config:global_variables]] feature of the playlist.
+==== Use global variables for display ====
+Global variables are available in column display and colour strings.
+==== Use global variables when sorting by column ====
+Global variables are available when sorting by column. Note: if your global string is slow to process, this will severely slow down sorting. Optimise your global string for best results.
+==== Enable legacy support for globals (Columns Playlist only) ====
+Allows the use of the older syntax for the global variables script, which was used in foobar2000 0.8.x.
+==== Make date info available ====
+Makes %_system_year%, %_system_day%, %_system_month%, %_system_day_of_week%, %_system_hour% available in global variables string.
+==== Tab: Variables ====
+Enter your global variables string here. See the [[columns_ui:config:global_variables|global variables]] page for information on its format.
