Using TM symbol in a variable

  • May 5, 2016

Hi -- I'm using RH 7 HTML to generate Webhelp.  Can I insert a (TM) symbol into a variable?  I tried two ways:

  1. Via the User Defined Variables pod
  2. Via the rhvariable.apj file (tried inserting <symbol name=Trademark><robohelp>&#8482;</robohelp>)

Neither worked.

The symbol needs to go between words in the variable like this: Robo(TM) Help.  I suppose I could make each word a variable, and insert variable-symbol-variable, but I'm hoping for a better solution.

Any ideas?  THANKS.

Noel

Correct answer ncs_techwriter_mck

I should have played around more before posting... here is what worked:

<variable>

  <name>rh</name>

  <value>Robo&#8482; Help</value>

</variable>
