Spell check and cond build tags

Participant ,

I am pretty sure that the answer to this is going to be 'no' but it's always worth asking (she says hopefully).

I am using conditional build tags to separate the help for the Windows and Web versions of our product and whenever I have two words next to each other in a topic, they are correctly flagged by the spell checker, for example, Click OKLogin. This is making my topics look a mess and is slowing me down a bit. Is there any way of telling the spell checker to ignore words that have conditional build tags applied to them?

Thanks

Why not have a space between OK and Login? I just checked and you don't get double spacing.

What version are you on? Variables would also take care of this need for two terms.

Oh yes! I thought I had checked and found that a double space does show but you're right, it doesn't. Great!

I'm on RH7 so could use variables but I thought using build tags throughout would keep things simpler. It's not just terms that are different but whole chunks of text. Do you think that's a bad decision?

Variables are more about stuff that is repeated many times and Click OK / Login would probably fall in that category.

For blocks of text that are only in one topic, CBTs are still appropriate. For repeated block, variables will save you time.
