title: Declare variable in a Play2 scala template
body: <p>How do you declare and initialize a variable to be used locally in a Play2 Scala template?</p>
  
  <p>I have this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@var title : String = "Home"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>declared at the top of the template, but it gives me this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>illegal start of simple expression """),_display_(Seq[Any](/*3.2*/var)),format.raw/*3.5*/(""" title : String = "Home"
  </code></pre>
