Can I declare local/temp variables within a jQuery template?

Asked 2011-02-28T21:26:54.827

Is it possible to declare new variables within the jQuery template syntax? I'm hoping to achieve the equivalent of this (which does not work):

{{var test = "test"}}

<div>
    ${test}
</div>

I know this has already been answered and accepted, but here is another solution:

${( $data.localVariable = 'SOMETHING' ),''}
