• Conditional text in Table - problems with setting the line height

  Hey there,

  I'm German, but I try to express my problem in English as I can. Not always easy with different menu names. Hope you get what I mean! :-)

  As you can see in my attached screenshot, I placed the text in a table.

  Text height is set: minimum 1.5... so it adapts to the amount of text.

  That's what I want - it should adjust the height of the conditional text marked/s.

  It always adjusts the height when I blind on the first line lines oder between (for example line 2 + 3 4).

  But if I want to blind on the last lines, there is a number at the end and an extra empty line with #.

  I know the # means hidden following text, but why it works with the red/green text.

  There are also some hidden text (green), but the brand # is just after the last word - not in a new line.

  Does anyone have a solution for this?

  Thanks in advance!

  

  So far, it's ok. A sign of the end of a text paragraph forces a new line.

  To change, do the following:

  For each condition, you need another condition for the paragraph sign that comes immediately after the condition. Not after each paragraph of a condition, but at the end of each consecutive numbers of the paragraphs of the same condition.

  So in your third example you will need more of two conditions:

  1. one for the paragraph at the end of the condition «meaasurements» sign

  2. one for the sign of paragraph at the end of the condition 'price 2 '.

  Whenever you perform other invisible conditions, you must also disable the new conditions that sign a single control paragraph.

  See the following screenshots:

• Conditional text in tables

  I use X 5 RoboHelp HTML.
  
  I applied a CBT to a line in a table. The text disappears, as it should, but the empty table row is left out. How can I get the row in the table to disappear?

  Hi Dawn. Check out this threadfor more details on how to work around this problem.

• How to organize a table like 'move with the text' and 'around and underneath "? For now, my only option in the menu drop-down is "in line with text.

  Hello. I am trying to format a table, so that when I hit it, it moves to the bottom of the page and the bumps any text underneath down as well (that is if you can see the whole table and all text at any time)

  .

  However, the only options I seem to have are moving with the text > inline with the text. The first part is what I want, but having the means of inline with the text of table than all text below it floats UNDER the table, and you can't read it.

  PIC 1 - My only option when "move with the text" is selected. As you can see all the other features are also grayed out.

  

  Photo 2 - I want now, select above and below, but when I select something other that in line with the text...

  

  PIC 3... it jumps to stay on the Page option is not what I want.

  

  Any ideas?

  You can have a floating table in v4.3 Pages ' 09 that moves before the text typed before it, but this feature has not been added to any release of v5 Pages. Simply set the table in the Wrap Pages ' 09 Inline with the text Inspector, and object causes the film if you wish.

• Can I export only conditional text 'show' for a mif?

  When I export a document with conditional text to a pdf file, just the conditional text which has the value 'show' (and the unconditional text) appears in the pdf file.  It's good, but I want the same thing when you export a mif.  There are two reasons for this:

  (1) we have an internal tool that analyzes a mif and retrieves the data in some tables to fill a database.  The tool is not analyze PDF files.  And the tool does not always correctly, manage conditional text lines conditional in particular the table text.  The tool will work fine if the conditional text was already "solved" when exporting to the mif.

  (2) I would use the Boolean logic for conditional text, which is available in FM9 but I need to supply files to other groups in society who use FM7.  Their FM7 wouldn't show conditional text correctly if it depends on nothing else than to the logic of the GOLD.  But they would be happy to accept files mif which had no conditional text because it had been "resolved" when I generated a file mif7 for them.

  I tried different ways to convert a pdf into a mif file, but no process seems to preserve the formatting and text editable. I'd be ready to accomplish this somehow roundabout on Framemaker, Acrobat Pro or another tool.

  But the happiest result for me would be to discover that FM9 already has the ability to export only the conditional 'show' and the text unconditionally to a mif.

  Or is it possible to make a copy of the document and then somehow automate the removal of conditional text 'hide' and 'show' unconditional conditional text conversion?

  doc_engineer,

  You could manually delete the conditions hidden from the files before the Save as MIF, by choosing the option remove all text hidden as well. If you want to completely automated, however, you need to perform some shows, in which case I would recommend setting your post-processing tool in order to recognize the conditional text correctly, rather than make FM do something which is less-than-optimal, IMHO.

  Your best bet of all would be to abandon the MIF format altogether and use a structured XML author, with which you can use for the conditional metadata attribute values. With this, you could also abandon the model of FrameMaker condition for a much more robust system of conditionalizing content tag. It would be more flexible and certainly easier to design the post-processing step, as there are many tools available for the treatment of XML metadata and the ability to analyze the attribute values is commonplace among them.

• RoboHelp captures together tags conditional compilation for tables

  My FrameMaker 9 tagged conditional text tables is not captured by RoboHelp 8.

  My tests show conditional text for tables in FrameMaker when imported in RoboHelp gives me a table with no tag of conditional compilation at all. If I have, in addition, the value of conditional text for the content in the table I find myself alone with an empty table. IOW, I have to "man-handle" all tables in RoboHelp... sucks big time!

  My RoboHelp settings are fine as I can see all build tags in FrameMaker in RoboHelp (they are not automatically applied to the tables). Applying the compilation conditional tags before importing FrameMaker files is never a good idea because it is not working properly. From my experience, you must always set the same conditions of generation in RoboHelp as you do in FrameMaker. IOW, repeat!

  Everyone has the same problems, or I'm doing something wrong here?

  Adobe confirms that this is a bug!

• Additional page created through conditional text won't go away

  I created a page with conditional text in Framemaker 11.  Whenever I have my terms, a blank page is created.  This page doesn't go away when I save or update the file.
  It gets deleted only if I delete the extra page.  Could be the cause of this page to stick around?

  This weekend I sent my problem Arnis file to look at.  Here is his answer:

  Arnis Gubins wrote:

  The reason why the extra page appeared when the Conditions have been used was due to having the text block high set to autologin as well as using the position of frame anchored to the "Below the line" for the two graphics of the logo. The text block is too small to hold the two graphs at once, so with the activated automatic connection, FM creates another copy of this block of text on a new page to hold the other graphic of the logo. When you enable or change conditions, FM must all show and then hide the (s) appropriate, he would always add this block of additional text on the new page to display two graphs (because that's what autoconnect).

  There are remedies.

  1. simply disable the automatic connection setting.

  2. place the graphics of the logo using the parameter "outside the text" for the had. This allows you to overlay the graphs one atop the other as you would not trigger a "automatic formatting" to create a new text frame, if the two should be made.

  3. you could also do both, to be sure that a new page is not triggered.

  Disable the automatic connection setting not fix the issue of the extra page being created and not removed.  I need a little more work to do on moving the frame and keep my layout the same.

  Thanks for all the help Arnis Gubins

• Conditional text HR and FM

  I am to evaluate alternatives to our old configuration WWP. With this configuration, we were able to treat our conditional FM source automatically in various outputs. The WWP project file worked with FM to control the conditional settings for different jobs.
  
  With 7 HR for HTML, acccoring help line, we must fix the conditions manually in framework before we run HR. Is this correct?
  

  If you ignore the option 'Apply FrameMaker text building conditional Expression', RoboHelp will import all FrameMaker content with conditional text settings and allow you to build the expression (s) to different output options. It is a privileged way. However, if you're convinced you want to filter at time of importation, which is also allowed.

  FrameMaker 8 lets you define expressions - show/hide, according to the expression. If you select the option 'Apply FrameMaker text building conditional Expression', RoboHelp will run FrameMaker command to show/hide before you import the content and therefore only the filtered content will be imported.

• Conditional text causes the crash

  Hello
  Currently, one of my projects seems to be corrupted as when I create conditional text and exclude any condtion of output, web help and html outputs help crash on the compilation. Please can someone help?

  Hi Peter,.
  RH6...
  Actually your website has solved this via extract 71. What had happened, it was that I had reinstalled HR to solve a problem wiith HR for word, but then concluded that my web project with conditional text aid and projects merged would compile if a conditional build expression was used. A colleague kindly helped diagnose the problem and quickly, we spotted that the dll had been updated and Reinstall RH had crushed the new dll. replacing these cured the problem.

  Thank you very much.

• Table of conditional text formats

  Hello ,.

  W7, FM11, TCS4.

  I am applying conditional text to a 100-page manual, I put in place.  I did about eight Condition Tags.

  When I apply a condition to a table, it changes to this:

  

  to do this:

  

  At first I thought it was the rest selection that would disappear after I scrolled the page vertically, but it does not appear.

  No changes have been made in table designer or the custom in power and the weft.

  Any ideas?

  > So it is not possible to apply the condition to part of a table?

  It is, but only entire lines, or the contents of the cell (not the cell itself). You can not make the entire columns or parts of columns. You can't make parts of lines (as groups of cells).

  You can apply a CC to an entire table by marking at anchor.

  You can apply a CC to entire lines (they need not be contiguous).

  You can apply a CC to arbitrary content of arbitrary cells, just like the flow a text. The cells will be show the gaps with the CC (unless the entire line is that CC would be turned off).

  You can apply CCs multiple for the same content as above, with the rule IOR normal pre - FM9 and FM9 expressions +. As always, to avoid duplication of the CEB.

  Of course, all this assumes that table CC works, without crashing, in your version of FM.

• Table: "move with the text -" option restores the "stay on the page.

  I'm under Pages 5.6.1 on MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2015, retina, 10.11.3).) 2.8 i7 1 TB flash, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, GHz Intel Core.

  The question that I will have (and frankly, have frequently), it is that when I have a table or an image embedded in a Pages document, I have problems affecting this table or an image to "move with the text" Format--> arranges--> object--> move with text placement, inevitably the option 'dressing' going on to "in line with text." But I don't want "inline with the text" option is selected, I want the text to wrap around the image. After scouring the other threads, I found the idea that it has to do with the provision of two-sided objects, and that the image or table should be sent to the front to make it possible. However, these options are completely grayed out during this effort together.

  Anything you can do to help would be appreciated, Internet.

  The Baron

  I'm under v5.6.1 Pages on 10.11.3. Table and image in the screenshot below have wrapping of text around the value and purpose of investment for both is stay on the Page. Get a text wrapping. Is this your goal of flow?

  

• Preserve conditional text in XML with FM 7.2 files

  Using FM 7.2, you add conditional text in an XML file, save the file (in XML format) and then reopen, are preserved conditional text? I know that it works with later versions of FM, but it also works with FM 7.2?

  Thank you very much

  Jesus

  According to the parameters of conditional text in the application definition in structapps.fm or in another application definition file, Yes. Conditional text in XML support has been added in FM 7.1.

• Encoded text with conditional compilation still tags appear in TOC even if the label is "excluded".

  I use TCS2, Windows XP.

  After you have created a book in FM and coding with conditional compilation tags, I imported HR. When I generate, I output the value tag:

  NOT NoOUtput AND NOT internal AND NOT printed - I want to generate my external, webhelp online help. And it works like a charm. Except that:

  • In the table of contents, I can still see the stars for the things that are "internal" - when I click on it, they're not going anywhere... but I don't want them to appear in the table of contents!

  It seems to exclude from the index and search. I don't know that miss me just a step, or something...

  
  Browsing the forums I found this... http://forums.Adobe.com/message/751847#751847 -I don't know if it is still applicable, because it seems to allude to RH6 (which is a bit far from the 8 HR that I use)...

  Any help is appreciated!

  TIA,

  Adriana

  @Daggins - that's what I was talking about! I knew it was there somewhere ;>)

  @adrianaharper - if it doesn't work properly in PDF files that you create on the FM band; what the TOC looks like FM? You're just pulling in HR when you import/link right? If the faulty internal topics are appearing in the table of contents of the FM, then expect them to appear in HR too. You must kill them, FM or kill them in HR.

• How to show/hide conditional text on the text selected with the FDK API

  Hello!

  Do you know how to show/hide conditional text in a selected text using the FDK API? I managed to do it on the whole document, but I need to do on specific selected text...

  Thanks in advance,

  Stefano

  Hi Stefano,

  This is not possible, the conditions are the properties of the document and cannot be changed from visible to hidden or v.v. for the full document.

  If you really need a more detailed method, you must create a separate condition for the selected text.

• conditional text find/replace problem

  Hello!

  For a few hours, I'm trying to solve this case: I want to apply conditions (conditional text) to all paragraphs according to the name of the applied style. So, for example, text with paragraph called "BODY" style should have "BODY" of the conditional text etc. I figured out mechanism, but I can't solve the problem with passing to find/replace.

  Here is my code:

  (function() {
      if (app.documents.length > 0) {
          processDocument(app.documents[0]);
      }
      function processDocument(aDoc) {
          var paraStyles = aDoc.allParagraphStyles.sort();
          for (var j = 0; paraStyles.length > j; j++) {
              var currentStyle = paraStyles[j].name;
              if(aDoc.conditions.item (currentStyle) == null){
                  var varConditions = aDoc.conditions.add({name: currentStyle});
              }
              doFindChange(currentStyle);
          }
      }
  }())
  function doFindChange(currentStyle) {
      app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
      
      app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = currentStyle;
      app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedConditions = currentStyle;
      
      app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
  }
  

  I know what's wrong, but I have no idea how to change.

  Could someone help me?

  Thanks in advance!

  You have some problems in the code:

  1 move the actual paragraph style (and not just its name) to findGrepPreferences (your variable, currentStyle is a string, although this can work, it is better [especially for paragraph in the groups styles] to adopt the paragraph style real itself).

  2. Ditto for the appliedCondition: give changeGrepPreferences the condition itself, not just its name.

  3. it seems that changeGrepPreferences.appliedConditions expects a range of disorders, then give him a table even if it has only one member.
