I've seen the posts on your forum from back in 2009, but no list has yet been provided. As the other posts referred to the specific variable they wanted the definition for, and that part was addressed, they have been marked as answered, but the underlying reason for those posts has not been addressed. In PeterJ's post, he asked for why you don't offer a list, but the question was not addressed.

So, I solely request a list of variable/symbol names (such as %%year%% and %%itemname%%) and their definition and/or value source so that your customers can reference this information without contacting your support for assistance, and so that they can refer to it to discover potentially useful symbols.

  There has been a full reference in the online help since 2012: http://www.innovasys.com/help/dx/webframe.html#metadataelements.html

  There is also a designer in both the scraps and page type editors to help you create / edit metadata elements.

  Thank you for your reply. Is this not a complete list? I was originally looking into this for one of the default values in the TopicXMLIsland template property; %%HHNamespace%%, which I searched on in your documentation but did not find (and still cannot in the reference lists), and I don't see it in Scraps in the custom template editor. It appears under the 'Help2' template properties, but I can't see any way to examine that template's scraps. The posts from 2009 with no update regarding this list lead me to think that it was not documented.

  This is a list of elements designed to be used in customization. The one you reference is used in Help 2.x outputs but is not designed for general use. Please drop a support request describing what you are trying to achieve and we can point you at the right element or elements.
