Add ability to output FrameMaker variable text on Page.asp
Summary
I would like a way to include a document's FrameMaker variable text on a generated page as a fixed part of the output.
Detailed Description
There is currently no way for the XSLT code to access the values of FrameMaker variables in documents. One enterprising user developed a way to get a variable from the project.cache and use it project-wide, but it's of limited use.
The main issues with it are that it cannot be used with Automap, and it does not get at the different values a Frame variable may have in different documents being processed.
You can work around this by asking your writers to use the variable in the source text and use conditional text to set it to only appear in the generated output, but writers may not do this consistently, and also the output would only go in the body of the output where the variable was inserted.
Use Cases
A great use for this would be to add document version, part number, last-updated, or other info typically stored in FrameMaker variables into the footer area of all generated pages, something easily accomplished by overriding Page.asp.
