| Note that the status variables are expanded using `E:` before the variable name. Depending on the module used, you may also have to use `set -gF` in order for `set` to expand format, see for example the [CPU](#cpu-module) and [battery](#battery-module) modules below. |

nit: tmux calls them "options", so "Note that options are expanded as format strings by placing E: before the option name".

set -gF worth being specific that F is the flag that treats the value passed as a format string that is immediately expanded. Also worth linking to the man page

The status line expands format strings in status-{left,right} anyway before displaying them, so worth explaining why some modules need to their formats fully expanded prior to being added to the status-{left,right} options
