For instance, if you define three attributes in the subject element to have three attributes identifying the chapter (chapnbr), section (sectnbr) and subject number (subjnbr), you would define an available running header-footer variable as follows:
<$attribute[chapnbr:Subject] - <$attribute[sectnbr:Subject]> - <$attribute[subjnbr:Subject]> Alternatively, if you were to use a single attribute to define all three numbers (e.g, 2-3-5) in the Subject element, the definition of the running footer variable would be simplified as follows: <$attribute <subjnbr:Subject]> Note that you must follow the attribute name with a colon (:) followed by the name of the applicable element in which the attribute is contained. If there are two or more Subject elements on a page, the attribute(s) in the first element is used. If there are no Subject elements on the current page, Framemaker will use the attribute values in the last Subject element on a preceding page.
