244.0. "<symbol_name> inside <figure>?" by TOPDOC::GREENBERG () Mon Apr 13 1987 09:18
    Can you put <tags> inside a <figure>?  More specifically, I have
    a figure that is repeated in different books, but with slight
    modifications such as the title: "Engineer's Main Menu" or
    "Technician's Main Menu" or "General User's Main Menu".  Other than
    this, the figure is the same.
    
    Can I insert a symbol_name (such as <menu_name>) inside the figure,
    with the appropriate definition appearing in each book, thus using
    just one figure called in from a file with the appropriate title
    inserted for each book via a <define_symbol>?
    Thanks,
    Fern

    There is a small bug in the T1.0 version re using <reference> tags
    in monospaced examples (I assume you mean a 'figure' with a monospaced
    example inside it). But this only affects references to header-levels,
    figures or tables. References to user-defined symbol names should
    work fine.

| 244.2 | more on using <reference>() | VAXUUM::KOHLBRENNER |  | Mon Apr 13 1987 15:22 | 11 | 
|  |     And if you are trying to change the title of the figure itself,
    you can write
    
    <figure>(<reference>(title_name))
    
    and define title_name as
    
    <define_symbol>(title_name\Technician's Mumbledy)
    
    At least the last time I looked you could do that...

    Thanks!  I finally got it to work with the define_symbol in the
    same file.  Now I'm going to try a separate symbol file.
    
    Thanks for your help.
