Conditional Tags not correct imported by FM9 to RH8

Report · Nov 20, 2009

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?

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 ;>)

Dear Jeff,

I tried both, with and without flag:

I set the visibility in FrameMaker and updated the book.

I set the flag in RH, then I expect only the visible text and topics are imported into RH without any conditional text information.

But it doesn't. All texts and all topics are visible without any conditional tag information is imported.

If I import it without the set flag, the import is correct.

I have the following problems to by this this solution:

1. TOC entries which should be set as conditional tags are not in marked.

I have to mark it after the report manually

2. I try to hide table titles.

I have to delete this titels manually.

If I set in css TableTitle by display: none; then I have a white space, because it is surrounded by an additional html tag, see example:

<tr>
<td><p class="TblTitle">Table Titel <?rh-udv_start
name="Table_Continuation" ?>(continued)<?rh-udv_end ?></p></td>
</tr>

If I exclude it for output, it does not work in combination with the new dhtml-functions in TS2.

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

I tried it again win RH7, when I import it with the set flag, I will get a clean TOC and only the visible test is imported.

Therfore, I think this is a bug in TS2.

kind regards

Michael

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.
