How to Create Running Headers

In book design there is often a requirement for headers on the page; that is text that is displayed in the margin that describes the title and often the author of the book. This text may be displayed in the top or bottom margin. Further into the book pages we may want running headers. These are dynamically generated items that change according to where we are in the book. How do we generate these running headers?

We use text variables. Here is a screencast that shows how to do this with InDesign.
