We are moving to Flare from RoboHTML x5. We will be creating Eclipse help (via WebHelp and then doing some post processing on the toc file so it conforms to Eclipse).
One thing we would like to be able to do is have our TOC labels automatically update whenever we make a change to the corresponding topic title.
So, for example, lets say I create a topic with an title that says: "Using the Editor". I add this topic to my TOC, and it displays "Using the Editor" as its label. Later, I go in and change the topic title to say: "Using the ABL Editor". My TOC does not automatically recognize that I've change the topic title and it still says "Using the Editor". So, I need to remember to go into my TOC and make the change, too.
When we imported our RoboHTML project, Flare created the following variable for all of our topic titles. To update this title in the Topic itself, we go into the Topic Poperties and enter the topic title there and this then changes the text in my topic's title.
Code: Select all
<h1>
<MadCap:variable name="System.Title" />
</h1>
1. Navigate to your TOC Entry
2. Double click on your TOC item
3. In the Label Field you will want to enter the Following for where you want the variable to be placed.
[% = MyVariablesSet.NameOfVariable%]
4.If your Variable file name is MyVariables and the Variable is CopmanyName then the syntax would be [% = MyVariables.CompanyName%]
So, I have tried entering the following as my topic's Toc label:
[% = MadCap.System.Title%]
But the label just shows this syntax I've typed in, it doesn't render to the Topic's title.
Has anyone succesfully done this or do they have any other ideas on how to get our TOC lablels to automatically update to match our topic titles?
Thanks,
Rhonda Fitzgerald
