Research direction

Open website/docs/variables.mdx at the referenced section around line 47 and read the surrounding variable examples. Clarify the differences between suite, test, and global variables, then make the example names consistent. Done means the guide explains these scopes plainly and no longer mixes my_suite_var with my_test_var.

Description

https://github.com/MarketSquare/robotframeworkguides/blob/0533e4e87a168ab1413477bea6a9085b7cf5c10e/website/docs/variables.mdx?plain=1#L47

Variable guide does not explain difference between suite and test variables and not between suite and global.

It also seems that my_suite_var and my_test_var in example is mixed some weird way. Maybe it should be my_suite_var every time?
