Using Variables Nisus provides variables which are constantly kept current. Thus, you can place date or time variables in your document that always display accurately.
Variables appear as normal text.
Unless they are highlighted they cannot be distinguished from the surrounding text just by looking at them. You can highlight all the variables in your document by choosing Display Invisibles from the Tools menu, or by clicking on the button in the master ruler. Nisus then boxes the variables in dotted lines as illustrated above. The page number variable is especially helpful when placed in a header or footer. This will number every page on which the header or footer appears.
