Learn how to insert a variable in a structured document in Adobe FrameMaker.
When you insert a variable in a structured document, Adobe FrameMaker inserts an XML variable and creates an XML entity element. FrameMaker then uses this combination of XML variable and entity to maintain the variable.
To view the XML variable and entity created in the XML, go to the XML view.
For example, if you insert the Modification Date (Long) variable
in a structured document, FrameMaker inserts a &fm.lmdate; variable
and a corresponding entity element.
