Using Topic Properties as variables in snippets

Community Beginner ,
May 17, 2016 May 17, 2016

I am using RoboHelp 2015. Is there any way by which I can use topic titles in snippets? For example if I have a snippet with snippet name as snippet1.hts and have a topic named as topic1.html with topic title as Topic1, when I insert snippet1, can I display Topic1 in snippet as a variable?

If not, at least can I display topic title or any topic property as a variable in the topic?

Actually it seems it is quite easy to plop a Topic Title into a snippet.

What you do is edit the snippet and insert the Topic Title field by clicking Insert > Field.

Then from the Fields dialog, choose Title.

It will look a bit "off" in the editor. But when you preview, the Topic Title should be substituted.

Also note that you can take this even further by including a variable into the Topic Title.
