FM variables round trip as entities in XML files, but entities don't survive an XSL transformation .. which is what builds a book from a DITA map. So .. there's no way to get variables into the resulting FM files (using the built-in FM8 DITA). DITA-FMx provides the "Prepare Variables" and "Restore Variables" commands which hide variables form the XSLT process and allow them to live on in the resulting FM files. <http://leximation.com/dita-fmx/> Cheers, ...scott Scott Prentice Leximation, Inc. www.leximation.com
