I'm using DocBook and am trying to get the <productname> element to automatically display text from an attribute on the top level element (which is either <book> or <set>).

So in a document where I have <book label="Name Here">, all the <productname> elements are to display as <productname>Name Here</productname>. If there was no "label" attribute, then I would want to display some default value.

Is it possible to this with structured Framemaker? How would I go about it?

Thanks.
