The Activ Variables can be used in quite a few situations, so here's an example of how to use them with the PreProcessor and Rebrander:
1. Create an HTML file like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>A book</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
My name is <B>[={myname}]</B>
<BR>
My web site is <A HREF=[={myurl}] TARGET=_blank>[={myurl}]</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>
2. Create an E-Book based on this HTML file,
Enable the PreProcessor on the HTML files containing variable like the above - by double clicking on the file in the files tab OR using Edit / All Files / Turn PreProcessor On
3. Add Activ Variables - using Edit / Activ Variables / Add (or pressing Ctrl+A)
For Variable pick the names you entered in step #1 -
e.g. "myname" and "myurl"
Check the rebrandable option on each variable.
Description can be anything you like
Type should be Text or HTML fragment.
For this particular example, Type doesn't really matter. When it really matters is if somebody is entering a block of text say which isn't part of a link. For example if they enter a name + address, and hit the return key part way through.... do we change returns into HTML <BR> tags
4. Click Edit / Output
Check the Build Rebrander option
In the Rebrander EXE Output name, enter a path to an EXE file in the same folder as your main e-book
For example if you main E-Book is caled
C:\MyBook\output\mybook.exe
You might call your rebrander
C:\MyBook\output\myrebrander.exe
5. Click "Build" on the "Build" menu.
