Question

Borders and Shading with Conditional Build Tags?

Can you apply a conditional build tag to a background image (Shading)?

I have a banner at the top of my page using Borders and Shading, and I would like to exclude it when outputting to Microsoft HTML Help (normal output is FlashHelp).

Appreciate any thoughts.

Rich

Hi,

What exactly is your situation? Do you want to hide the banner or do you want to hide the background image (in CSS) of the banner or something different altogether? Also, how did you add the banner to your topic? Do you use master pages or something else?

Greet,

Willam

I have — at the moment — two output types, FlashHelp and MS HTML Help. FlashHelp is the default output.

I have the banner on the master page, set as a Pattern Image in the Borders and Shading, no Repeat and with Scroll checked.

What I want to do is to be able to exclude or hide the banner in the Borders and Shading when outputting in MS HTML Help.

Hmm, I recall a few versions back that there was an issue where we also needed to add the image to baggage, but I didn't think that was an issue any longer.

Assuming that's not it, the only thing that comes to mind is that perhaps you have more than one CSS file and the one you are editing is maybe being actually unused and substituted by another during the compilation process.

Is there a chance that you have enabled the override in the Single Source Layouts?

Cheers... Rick


Morning Rick,

I have gone back to basics and opened a new test project with 3 topics and some sample text. I have added a background using the edit css method you suggested and disabling the apply to all topic check box as above and yet Robohelp is still generating the ssl with no background in the topic window.

Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here???

Many thanks

Greg
