There are two primary global variables injected into your templates.
The entry global variable is injected into your templates whenever a request to Enact matched a entries URL (this global will not exist if the the request was not matched directly to an entry, see the Routing Docs for other ways requests are resolved). The entry global is an instance of an Entry Wrapper. It provides the properties of the matched entry, access to the fields used by the entry accessed directly by the fields handles, and helper methods which allow for printing and searching. See the Entry Wrapper docs for full information for using the entryglobal.
The enact global encapsulates functionality and access to services and variables provided by enact. The methods provided by it are wide ranging, below we will detail them.
