Hardcoded UI Shortcuts
From GECK
The table below describes hardcoded shortcuts used in XML files, values the shortcuts correspond to, and their application.
Many shortcuts share the same value as they are used in different context. For example, &true; is used for boolean expressions and &hudmain; is used for colors, but both internally evaluate to 1.
Shortcuts are case-insensitive.
