FM 9: Cannot apply conditional tags

I was able to create conditional text tags, apply it and see good conditional indicators in several documents using 9 FM. Recently, in a new book, I am unable to apply conditional tags. I think I got the new user interface, since conditional marking has worked before. I can create tags and configure them fine, but when I apply the text, table, graphic, etc, that nothing is happening. the text remains unconditional.

You don't describe your steps. So, make sure that on the pod of conditional text, you select the condition, and then select the option button, then click on apply. If you forget to program before you click on apply, the condition is not applied.

  • condition tag applied to insert to insert text not hiding all the Insert

    Hi all

    I am running FM12.0.2.389 on Win7-SP1 (64-bit) laptop with i7 & 16 GB of RAM.

    As Arnis had mentioned on a post on the use of tags condition with tables, applying the condition for the character of point tag insertion conceals the entire table when you hide that tag. It's the way I always saw tags condition applied to the insert text, too much work. However, this is not what I see now, but I don't know if what I'm seeing is "as expected" typical behavior, or a new change since FM9 (jumped FM9 FM12), or if there is a problem with my installation of FM. "."

    Here's the scenario: I have FM files that serve as overlays of text in multiple documents ("insert FMs" for clarity). The entire library of files FM has deployed several condition tags and variable to accommodate more boundaries between nearly identical products, U.S. / International English and more short documents output the same set of source files. For the sake of discussion, I'll use an example which includes 4 labels of condition:

    • 3D (specific products)
    • LI (specific products)
    • Kit (specific output)
    • Installation (specific output)

    Insert FM has 3D and LI tags as appropriate. Container FM has 4 of all labels in the game. The tag is the FM Kit insert insert text for the Insert marker. When I'm running Kit, I can show 3D or LI and achieve the expected results. However, when I hide Kit, text inside of the FM which is tagged with insert regardless of the specific tag always present, even if the rest of the FM in medallion is hidden. I am pleased to provide you with a ZIP of the files needed to use as a sample.

    I don't remember ever having this problem in FM7 or FM8 FM9. (I was a user of FM since the FM5.5 and the use of tags condition since FM6.) Is this normal? Is this a change designed as? Or am I facing a sort of weird corruption of my particular FM installation?

    Thank you

    Hi René,.

    A text overlay behaves in a similar way to a table. It is anchored at the insertion point, and you apply the condition to the anchor to condition it. When you apply the condition to the Insert, all content conditionally marked in the box becomes a combined condition, i.e. the Insert with 3D and conditions of LI now has Kit, Kit & 3D and conditions of Kit & LI.

    Therefore, you have to build the Boolean expression to show or hide so combined cases. In order to hide the KIT and 3D interior and conditions LI of the Insert, the Boolean expression would be:

    not ("Kit" or (("Kit" et "3D") or ('Kit' and 'LI')))

    Simply hide only Kit will not hide a combined condition (e.g. Kit & 3D).

  • You can apply two condition tags to the same content?

    We must apply the two condition tags to the same content. A condition tag is for the version of the product (for example, full vs of lite), and the other condition tag is for the output (vs. Administrator's guide online help). Is it possible within the framework to apply two condition tags to this topic? We want a topic to have the full conditions of the Administrator's guide.

    If this is not possible, we can create a condition that is full tag and guide the administrator, but we have thought that we would check to see what is possible. Thank you!

    > So we need to use conditional expressions for this?

    If inclusive - or show, that's what you want, no.

    Otherwise, probably - I have not used cond-exps myself yet.

    Even in FM9/10, it is probably still a good idea to overlap do not conditions. Brainwashed MIF can fix, tho.

  • RH9 conditional tags works do not

    Conditional compilation tags worked before and now are not. I went to the bottom of the list of things and cannot understand what is wrong, or what I have done to stop them.

    When I right click the topic in the topics list tag, then click on Properties > advanced, the condition of the internal Web site is verified correctly. The status of the broker site is not. When I publish them, the topic is displayed on both servers, not only that I checked.

    I clicked republish all to make sure that each file is published, just to make sure the condition goes there. Still nothing.

    The subject has this Green highlighting on the table of contents, so Robohelp believes that a condition has been applied.

    Here's what I changed, since it worked:

    • I changed the path of publication for the Web site project broker - one who shouldn't display the topic. The new directory displays the topic (wrongly). The old directory with the old files is still not (properly), when I run the project from there.
    • I started to publish the project to both servers at the same time rather than separately, I did during the initial test. Yet, when I look at the file download dialog and check the timestamp in the directory, files go to the proper places. When I unchecked a download and the paths will be published separately, it still doesn't work any more.
    • I changed the name of the State for the broker's Web site. However, I never checked this box - internal name for the condition remains same site and it is the only project that counts in this test, because the internal subjects should not be published on this site. It shouldn't matter, but I'm there understood because I changed it.
    • I deleted the subject and put it back, going through each of the steps conditional tag, and then republish.

    Are there any other variables that I forgot? Help, please!

    Thank you!

  • How the conditional tags can be viewed without installed RH?

    Hello

    I use RH9 to create chm HTML Help files. I have two tags conditional configuration. Everything works fine to build the chm. I would like to somehow show the content of each conditional tag.  This isn't a problem for someone who has RH9 you can go to the reports to see the topics that are associated with each tag and then display the topic that presents the text associated with a tag.

    However, if a manager needs to review that which accompanies each tag but isn't RH9, how I would give them something that shows them the content that goes with each tag?  Which gives them 2 different chm files to compare it won't because there is just too happy to determine the differences.

    Thank you

    John

    Good, a few thoughts...

    For the tags applied to all subjects, you could create a set of frameworks that would allow the two subjects to be displayed simultaneously. Each side-by-side or up and down. Which could allow an easy comparison.

    And I thought that for content, you could code the text color. But it would probably be a little a lot of work. My thought was that you could create and apply styles that cause the color coding to occur. Only set them in a sheet of unique style that would apply only to generate the file CHM 'review '. Then, you must use the original style sheet required during the generation of the final output.

  • Conditional tags - how to exclude files from the output

    Hi all

    I am trying to exclude certain topics (books) of the generation by applying the conditional tags. It works very well and these books are excluded from the table of contents; However, section files are not excluded that the output size is exactly the same. The items I must exclude are huge video tutorials. It seems that HR changes only the TOC when applying conditional build tags.

    Any ideas how to ensure that the files of excluded topics are not in the output?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If the subjects are actually excluded or not depends on exactly where you added the conditional tags. If you haven't been tag elements of the table of contents, all that is remove entries from the table of contents.

    My suggestion is to wipe the table of Contents formatting per tag and add the tags to the subjects themselves. Then, they should be excluded. And when they are excluded, they will disappear also the table of contents.

  • Conditional tags in RH9

    Can we add conditional tags to Image Maps? I right click on the image plane but I get no option related to the conditional tags. Thank you!

    Hello again

    Last night I tested and it does not seem you can apply tags to each of the regions. But not really using the RoboHelp interface. What I did to apply a tag to a word just above the image. Then I switched to HTML code mode. I then copied the tag code that RoboHelp inserts just before the marked information and I pasted just before the definition of the map region area. Once you have done that, the tag code end vouscopiezetcollezle than just after the definition of region map.

    I then tested by generating the project and see if the field has been deleted. It has been!

    One thing that I do not have much testing was to see how the designer of RoboHelp view will hold up to. Sometimes it rather snarkily removes any changes that we make in HTML view.

    But it could give a try!

    See you soon... Rick

  • Document revision without conditional tag

    I sent a PDF file for review, edited with FrameMaker 10 (I have the TCS3.5). When I imported the document corrected in the original document (in FM), I see has added the words ()highlighted in green) and words to remove () red bar). The problem is that the text color is not a conditional tag (I don't know why) et so I corrected all that by hand. The text in red bar can be easily removed , but the text highlighted in green can not be changed automatically paragraph attributes. My question is: How to apply the settings of a paragraph to change the attributes of color ... I can not find the solution.

    You must use the text changes from track to accept or reject the (individual) changes, review and merge them into the document.

  • Topics marked with the conditional tags still appear in the documentation

    Hi all

    I have a big problem with RoboHelp 7.

    I defined a new conditional tag (I have 2 together) and I mark the topics in the table of contents with relate to this tag conditional, right?

    When I generate the chm file, everything is OK. The headings marked with the conditional tag do not appear in the table of contents that I specified to exculde subjects marked with this conditional tag.

    When I generate documentation however, everything is still in the document even if I was clear that I don't want these subjects to appear.

    Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong, or how can I properly so that I get my results?

    I am using Windows XP Pro and RoboHelp is updated with all service packs.

    Thank you

    Bogdan sailor

    Right-click a topic in the table of contents and select apply the tag build conditional. Check out the new / Multiple option.

    This screen displays.

    You can clearly see if the tag is applied to the table of contents or the subject. If it is applied on the subject, so it will be not when generating table of contents entry will be automatically deleted. If it is applied to the table of contents only, he is always in the build.

  • Build Conditional Tags - problems when generating content

    Hello

    Just wanted to print 4 pages of a long aid project so I added the compilation conditional tags called "ad-hoc" and created a print Doc SSL where ad hoc was conditional create value.

    When I generate the document I am making everything always. Am I particularly thick today?

    I tried marking all 'online', and then adding the ad hoc tag to pages construction the condition as 'online' AND 'ad hoc', but then nothing.

    Help appreciated as never.

    Nick.

    @Tompsk on Twitter.

    I don't think that the tag a wide impression is necessary. If you apply credits for all the subjects, then remove some before generating applied online with NO of GENERIC help, you will get only the items which you have removed the tag. No need to apply another.

    If you want to print, then forget about tags, just a print layout where you select only the items you want in.

    Printing works in the opposite way to online. Impression, that you include, online, you will need to exclude.

  • The deleted output tables finished when the conditional tags using build

    Hi and thanks for any help you can offer on this...

    I use the WebHelp/print Documentation HR 6 single-sourcing method, and I created two build conditional tags - "OLH" (online help) and "printed". Essentially, the conditional tags are awesome... except when my content includes HTML tables. If a table exists within a set of conditional tag material, material that exists AFTER the table (and outside the conditional tag) is omitted from the finished output (i.e., regardless of the unique method out of the Source used for the production of finished products - WebHelp or printed Documentation). In some cases, only certain documents after the table is omitted.

    For example, in a comprehensive document which includes a specific paragraph and a data table I want to exist only in my printed docs. I apply the tag "Print" in this paragraph and the table. Once I have generate the schema of WebHelp (or even preview and apply the term appropriate on the conditional tag build), labeled "Print" content is left out, but is so everything that followed it. even if I don't apply a tag of conditional compilation to the material in question.

    I have a workaround, but it sucks... If I delete the tables (and re - format the text content), everything is fine, and the build tags work properly. The thing is, I want to use the tables in my content.

    I wish a WYSIWYG solution, but if I have to change the code, I'll live... I just need to know what and where to change (I played with the ' < p > < style = "" x-condition: printed; ' > ' tag and additional locking "< /p >" and "< / style >" tags, but that has not worked ").

    Thank you for taking the time to review that and for any help you can give.

    Hi Vernholio,

    This looks like a problem that is covered in the forums before. Basically, it happens when the Board as a whole has been select. If you click and drag to select all of the cells in the table, then apply the conditional tag, there should not be problems with the rest of the content.

  • Conditional tags build... weird behavior?

    If I apply a conditional build tag to a section in the table of Contents tab, the topic gets included in the output, even if I've specified this tag to exclude.

    However, if I ask even conditional build tag a theme from the project tab, then the topic gets excluded (as expected) the output because I've specified this tag to exclude.

    Is this lack of uniformity in the behavior of design? I looked at using RoboHelp, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with adding conditional build tags to the themes of the tab contents.

    Can someone shed some light on this? I use Adobe RoboHelp HTML 6, Build 099.

    Thank you
    K

    PS: It seems that RoboHelp completely ignores tags conditional build that I add to the themes of the tab contents. If I see these topics marked with the project tab or the subjects, there is no shading color for these topics. The shade of color for the watch only subjects if I tag the project tab or subject themes.

    Hi Kutra

    Looks like you are badly understand operation of the tags of the generation and the table of contents. The table of contents are simply a file with pointers to your topics. It can be many many topics that never see the light of day in your table of contents, but exists in your project. Just because a topic is not in the table of contents does not remove not the project. So when you apply a label of construction to a node in the table of contents, you simply tell RoboHelp to create the project without this particular table of contents entry, if you exclude the tag. But when you apply the tag to the subject itself, you say RoboHelp to create the project without this topic if you exclude the tag. And if you do that, there's really no need to tag in the table of contents it won't appear here even if the subject was excluded.

    Hi, as above really: when I print to pdf, indicators of conditional tag print the pdf file.

    You must disable them before printing. IIRC, uncheck the option 'Show Condition indicators' in the conditional window. I think you can do it at the level of the pound on all files at the same time.
