Preprocess theme variables for templates.

This hook allows modules to preprocess theme variables for theme templates. It is called for all theme hooks implemented as templates, but not for theme hooks implemented as functions. hook_preprocess_HOOK() can be used to preprocess variables for a specific theme hook, whether implemented as a template or function.

For more detailed information, see theme().

Parameters

$variables: The variables array (modify in place).

$hook: The name of the theme hook.
