Oh boy! I am getting old! I knew there was a solution (used this technique already in an old module of mine)!
You have to use backticks, masking the variables if you want to add text. Look at this example:
<{assign var="xoops_pagetitle" value="`$yourvariable` heregoesyourtext"}>
I hope this is the solution you were looking for?
Nice technique also: You can append any global variable like $xoops_meta_description or others if you mask them with backticks.
