You can add variable or regular marks by following the same process.

1. Type the variable marks in the marks file.
   Note: Leave enough space between each variable mark to ensure that the populated variable marks do not overlap each other, or use the $[compound] variable mark to print more than one mark on a single line.
2. Complete the procedures for adding marks as appropriate.
