Linked variables? Possible or impossible?
Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2014 12:44 am
Hallo,
I don't know whether what I am about to ask is possible (in the way i'd like), but I'm asking just-in-case!
I am looking for a way so that every time a word is mentioned in Flare, a hyperlink is used.
I know that I could do this using a snippet for each word/set of words, but because it's only for one word (or a series of words) I think it would be better to be a variable; update the word and it updates everywhere throughout Flare. But can you add a hyperlink, cross-reference (or any other kind of link) to a variable? I had a quick look and through Flare's interface and at first look, it doesn't seem possible. However, perhaps there is a way to add a cross-reference through the .flvar file? Or through some other sneaky method I don't know about? Or, do you think it would be better to just use a snippet for each word/set of words?
While I'm asking, is there a way to use a cross-reference without using the first heading of the cross reference? I always want my links to update to the same 'topic' but I don't want it displaying the heading of the topic..
Thanks!
