<data name="currentYear"/> and then create a DITA Open Toolkit XSLT-based customization plugin which matches this element at publishing time and replaces it with the current date. Are you familiar with XSLT? Would you like to pursue this
Hi Frank, An Oxygen editor variable expands only once. You seem to need some kind of macro which would expand every time you publish. So you seem to need more like a publishing customization. For DITA XML maybe you can use the <data> element with a certain name: direction? If so maybe I can try to sketch a small publishing plugin which would do this.

Hi list,
How can I insert the current date into a dita file? I would like to have oXygen automatically update the year of a copyright notice. I know that I can define editor variables. But how can I embed them in the dita code?
If this needs to be tied to the XSL that produces the deliverable: I need this for CHM, which I generate with oXygen. (I have already found a solution for MiramoPDF. ) And I'd need to know where exactly to add the code... Thank you.
Regards,
Frank --
