Question

Conditional Tags not correct imported by FM9 to RH8

Hello,

I am testing currently TS2.

I defined in Project Settings under Other Setting Apply FrameMaker Conditional Text Build Expression.

When I import this book, the complete text is imported but without marking the condition text marking, i.e. also the hidden text is imported.

In RH 7 and FrameMaker 8 it worked.

Is it a bug?

Does anyone had the same problem?

I found out, when I do this in a clear new RH8 project, then it is working.

I did the test in an upgraded RH7 project and it failed.

When you use that flag, RH is expecting you to do your conditioning in FM. So if you're set to Show All in FM, that's what will come over to RH. You have to either set the condition in FM, showing only what you want to have imported into RH, OR you leave the flag unchecked, get everything appearing in RH & then condition it when you generate your help (that's what I do)

Dear Jeff,

I did it as you described, but in here all text is imported.

So you left the flag unchecked & it brought in all the text from FM into

your RH project, right?

Now when you go to generate the help through the Single Source Layouts

pod, you should see your FM conditions available for application to the

help output. Choose which ones you want to include/not-include and

generate away ;>)
