An editor variable can be created and included in any user-defined expression where a built-in editor variable is also allowed. For example, a custom editor variable may be necessary for configuring the command line of an external tool, the working directory of a custom validator, the command line of a custom XSLT engine, or a custom FO processor.
You can create or configure custom editor variables in the Custom Editor Variables preferences page. To create a
custom editor variable, follow these steps:
- Open the Preferences dialog box and go to Custom Editor Variables.
- Click the
New button at the
bottom of the table. - Use the subsequent dialog box to specify the Name, Value, and Description for the new editor variable.
- Click OK to save your configuration.
