Revision history [back]

The <arg> XML tag syntax is sometimes confusing. Note that it can be either a declaration or an assignment.

To declare an <arg>, put it almost anywhere in the file before using the $(arg) substitution variable.
To assign a value, nest it within the <include> tag, or pass it to the top launch file via a parameter to roslaunch.
