Reply To: GREP style with variables

Hi Cheri,

Text Variables are considered to be single entities by InDesign, so you won’t be able to parse individual characters within the variable string unless you use Convert Variable to Text. However, you then lose the ability to have it update if changes are made. Can you construct the footer so that the vertical bars are regular text, with the Text Variables on either side?

A sample of the intended output would be helpful for more guidance.
