It is used in the definition of a command (for example the input URL of a transformation, the output file path ofa transformation, the command line of an external tool) to make a command or a parameter generic and reusable withother input files. When the same command is applied to different files, the notation is expanded at the execution of thecommand so that the same command has different effects depending on the actual file.The following editor variables can be used in Oxygen XML Author plugin commands of external engines or otherexternal tools, in transformation scenarios, validation scenarios and Author operations:• ${oxygenHome} - Oxygen XML Author plugin installation folder as URL.• ${oxygenInstallDir} - Oxygen XML Author plugin installation folder as file path.• ${frameworks} - The path (as URL) of the frameworks subfolder of the Oxygen XML Author plugin installfolder.• ${frameworksDir} - The path (as file path) of the frameworks subfolder of the Oxygen XML Author plugininstallation folder.• ${home} - The path (as URL) of the user home folder.• ${homeDir} - The path (as file path) of the user home folder.• ${pdu} - Current project folder as URL.• ${pd} - Current project folder as file path.• ${pn} - Current project name.• ${cfdu} - Current file folder as URL, that is the path of the current edited document up to the name of the parentfolder, represented as a URL.• ${cfd} - Current file folder as file path, that is the path of the current edited document up to the name of the parentfolder.• ${cfn} - Current file name without extension and without parent folder.• ${cfne} - Current file name with extension.• ${cf} - Current file as file path, that is the absolute file path of the current edited document.• ${cfu} - The path of the current file as a URL.• ${af} - The file path of the zip archive that includes the current transformed file (this variable is available only in atransformation scenario).• ${afu} - The URL of the zip archive that includes the current transformed file (this variable is available only in atransformation scenario).• ${afd} - The directory of the zip archive that includes the current transformed file (this variable is available only ina transformation scenario).• ${afdu} - The URL of the directory of the zip archive that includes the current transformed file (this variable isavailable only in a transformation scenario).• ${afn} - The file name (without parent directory and without file extension) of the zip archive that includes thecurrent transformed file (this variable is available only in a transformation scenario).
