[All MavoScript operators](/docs/functions/?role=operator)\n\n# Special properties\n\nSpecial properties are available in every Mavo, and start with a dollar sign ($). They contain metadata, such as [the position of the current collection item (as a number starting from 0)](docs/functions/#$index) or [the current date/time](docs/functions/#$now). \n\n
[All MavoScript special properties](/docs/functions/?role=special)\n\n# Raw data\n\nA lot of the data you will be using in expressions will come from your properties. However, sometimes you want to provide your own values as parameters. These can be:\n\n- **Numbers**, by just writing the number and using `.` as the decimal separator, e.g. `5` or `-0.3`. \n- The keyword `true` and the keyword `false` represent yes/no values. For example, `30 > 3` is equal to `true` because 30 is indeed larger than 3, and `3 > 30` is equal to `false` because 3 is not larger than 30.\n- Textual values, such as `\"cat\"` or `'Mary'`. You can use single quotes, double quotes, or even no quotes if the text contains only letters, numbers, and underscores. However, if you do that, beware of potential clashes with your property names!\n- Lists of values, just like those you get by referring a collection property from outside the collection, can be written as `list(value1, value2, value3, ...)`. You can read more about [`list()` here](/docs/functions/#list).\n- Grouped key-value pairs, just like the data you get when you reference a group can be created by using the `group()` function. E.g. `group(name: 'Vector', age: 12, hobby: list('Eating', 'Sleeping', 'Purring'))`\n\n" }, { "id": "using-properties",
