Use Variables in Topic Title

You can use variables not only in a topic content but also in TOC node text and topic titles. Here is how you can do this.

Topic Title 

• First of all, you should create a variable. To learn more, refer to this topic: Use Variables in Topic Content.
• We've created the productName variable.

• Open the necessary topic and click the Rename button to rename it.
  
  
• Insert the variable using the syntax above.
