Placeholder for topic heading in master page?

[Guest]

RH9

If I create a new topic with no master page selected, then the topic title that I type into the New Topic dialog becomes the topic heading in the new topic. Is good.

If I create a new topic using a master page, how do I get the same result? What do I have to put into the master page as a variable or placeholder so that the new topic title becomes the topic heading?

Thank you.

Disregard thanks. Answer is use Insert Field to insert the title field. I did not see this in the RH9 manual topic on Master Pages but found it elsewhere on the web.

LOL... suuurrrreee. AFTER I go to the trouble to post an answer!

On a serious note, I'm pleased you got it sorted.

Consider adding something to the Adobe Help topic on this to help others find the answer.

Hi there

Edit your Master Page and focus the Body placeholder. Then at the top of it, click Insert > Fields and Variables... then choose Title and click OK. That should insert a Title variable into the topic. The last step would be to press Ctrl+Alt+1 to apply Heading 1 to the field.

After you do that your topic Title will always be reflected on the page.
