28.3.6 Using some FrameMaker system variables as macro variables

Mif2Go provides predefined macro variables for the following FrameMaker system-variable building blocks:

<$$_volnum>	Volume Number
<$$_chapnum>	Chapter Number
<$$_sectionnum>	Section Number (FrameMaker version 9+ only)
<$$_subsectionnum>	Subsection Number (FrameMaker version 9+ only)

These four are the only FrameMaker system variables that can be used as Mif2Go macro variables. Because references to these FrameMaker system-variable building blocks follow the same naming rules as FrameMaker user variables, in a Mif2Go macro you could refer to the value of (for example) the FrameMaker Chapter Number variable in either form: <$$Chapter_Number> or <$$_chapnum>.
