<p>Hi Frank,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>An Oxygen editor variable expands only once. You seem to need
some kind of macro which would expand every time you publish.</p>
<p>So you seem to need more like a publishing customization.</p>
<p>For DITA XML maybe you can use the <data> element with a
certain name:</p>
<p>
<blockquote type="cite"><data name="currentYear"/></blockquote>
and then create a DITA Open Toolkit XSLT-based customization
plugin which matches this element at publishing time and replaces
it with the current date. Are you familiar with XSLT? Would you
like to pursue this direction? If so maybe I can try to sketch a
small publishing plugin which would do this.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Radu</p>

<p>Hi list,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>How can I insert the current date into a dita file? I would
like to have oXygen automatically update the year of a copyright
notice. I know that I can define editor variables. But how can I
embed them in the dita code?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If this needs to be tied to the XSL that produces the
deliverable: I need this for CHM, which I generate with oXygen.
(I have already found a solution for MiramoPDF. ) And I'd need
to know where exactly to add the code... Thank you.<br>
</p>
