Hi,

I'm using Robohelp 8 and have the following issue.  I have one master page for my project.  I'm trying to put a placeholder/variable in the master page header.  This variable needs to be updated from each HTML topic. Is there a way to do that?

Example:

department1.htm

  • dep1Page1.htm - header should read "Department1"
  • dep1Page2.htm - header should read "Department1"
  • dep1Page3.htm - header should read "Department1"

department2.htm

  • dep2Page1.htm - header should read "Department2"
  • dep2Page2.htm - header should read "Department2"
  • and so on

department3.htm

  • and so on

Hi there

You would accomplish it by declaring as many Master Pages as you have Departments. Then associating the correct Master Page with the correct topics.

I would also encourage you to submit a Wish Form and state your requirement. It would be nice to have some sort of expanded Variable functionality to address such issues more cleanly.

Cheers... Rick
