The usage is best illustrated with some samples:
```
-{{ .Scratch.Add "a1" 12 }}
-{{ .Scratch.Get "a1" }} {{/* => 12 */}}
-{{ .Scratch.Add "a1" 1 }}
-{{ .Scratch.Get "a1" }} // {{/* => 13 */}}
-
-{{ .Scratch.Add "a2" "AB" }}
-{{ .Scratch.Get "a2" }} {{/* => AB */}}
-{{ .Scratch.Add "a2" "CD" }}
-{{ .Scratch.Get "a2" }} {{/* => ABCD */}}
-
-{{ .Scratch.Set "v1" 123 }}
-{{ .Scratch.Get "v1" }} {{/* => 123 */}}
+{{ $.Scratch.Add "a1" 12 }}
+{{ $.Scratch.Get "a1" }} {{/* => 12 */}}
+{{ $.Scratch.Add "a1" 1 }}
+{{ $.Scratch.Get "a1" }} // {{/* => 13 */}}
+
+{{ $.Scratch.Add "a2" "AB" }}
+{{ $.Scratch.Get "a2" }} {{/* => AB */}}
+{{ $.Scratch.Add "a2" "CD" }}
+{{ $.Scratch.Get "a2" }} {{/* => ABCD */}}
+
+{{ $.Scratch.Set "v1" 123 }}
+{{ $.Scratch.Get "v1" }} {{/* => 123 */}}
```
+**Note:** The examples above uses the special `$` variable, which refers to the top-level node. This is the behavior you most likely want, and will help remove some confusion when using `Scratch` inside page range loops -- and you start inadvertently calling the wrong `Scratch`. But there may be use cases for `{{ .Scratch.Add "key" "some value" }}`.
