+# Variable Terminals
+
+Variable terminals are pieces of data which tell the type of data a token should have
+but don't explictly tell the exact content of a token.
+
+As an example, this could mean that a token must be alphanumeric, like a variable identifier,
+but the name doesn't really matter.
