 ```.cpp
 render("{% set new_hour=23 %}{{ new_hour }}pm", data); // "23pm"

-json pointers can be used to set sub-objects:
-```.cpp
-render("{% set time.start=18 %}{{ time.start }}pm", data); // "18pm"
+render("{% set time.start=18 %}{{ time.start }}pm", data); // using json pointers
 ```
 
 Assignments only set the value within the rendering context; they do not modify the json object passed into the `render` call.
