• Conversion with conditional text in table

  I take the first steps in converting unstructured structure image. A single document is fairly clean except for one question: my structure breaks around conditional text in tables. (The tables have a their own, but the conditional text questions f3ew seems to make the problem worse) I don't know how it should be treated. Structure tags are displayed in the view below.

  

  And here's the view of the Structure:

  

  Is this something that can be implemented with a qualifier, and if so, how? In addition, in the mapping of conversion table, is there any dependency order, as well, on which appears the conditional text element?

  As Michael says, a conversion table does not convert the structure conditions. In a structured document, we apply, removes, shows and hides the conditions in the same way as is done on an informal document. The only difference is that you can select entire items and treat them with conditions.

  In a sense, FrameMaker treats conditions like processing instructions. If you need to export a document structured in XML and view it with a browser or a text editor, you can find instructions for treatment that punctuate the beaches of conditional text.

  So, once again as Michael, the text says conditional is not breaking your structure. It is superimposed on the structure.

• Question about the design of conditional text

  Posted in the wrong forum, post again here.

  I have a relatively important book (230 pages) with dozens of tables and 100 graphics. I need 4 versions of this book. One for each grade level (3) and the other if happy for all 3 grades is sold as a "master class".  Other than the implementation of conditional text, the book is ready to go. I tried two different ways to approach the tables under certain conditions (some of which are within blocks of text, some just anchored to a page) but I do not quite understand.  Application of conditional text tags (with different colors and markers for each) seems to crash (i.e. almost duplicatable unlike the grave 'normal' down 3-4 I feel daily last month that are just randomly). Sidenote: I was very happy to see that they will solve the crash of book printing...

  Reference markers are involved in these conditional sections, and I have my suspicions that they are guilty of the root of my other problems of crash, but then FM crashed when applying conditional text to a section that * don't * have a x - ref, so I don't know what to think.

  I need to get out Monday. So my question is, if I need 4 tables in one page (one for each version) I better just do 4 copies of the book and the compilation of this way? I sold the customer on FM mainly due to the ability to compile several book of basic documents... so, I really hate to have 4 copies when I give the source. I know that you can select rows in a table for a version (so I could do a very large table for 3 versions and simply choose different lines), but this is one thing that seems almost certain to make it crash as well.  And the paintings of masters have an extra column, but also a line so I still need 2 tables by doc so I could get the conditional statements to stop crashing. Is there a better way to 'design', which could suggest an experienced FMer? Some custom utility which works even if it isn't free?

  Just in case someone asks:

  The system configuration

  FM 11

  new facility in August, not upgraded

  All the files are originally from FM11 and new

  Windows 7-64 bit

  20 GB of memory

  2 TB - local disc c /.

  Thanks for your suggestions on this.

  Well, it didn't crashed this morning when I put the x back references in the conditional table. Sent to fmerror with the steps for dupe.

  But on the mif wash. I've done it "manually" once a week now for the last two weeks. Can't say if it is to help, but it is always recommended, so I do. However, I was wondering if anyone had a recursive script that would do this automagically...

  Thank you

  Laurie

  Edit:

  Search mif washing (and variants) and nothing gets on the Adobe site. I figured out through a vague reference to an old thread where to find it and thought that I note for new users: If there is...

  Book MIF Wash is that a utility provided by Adobe that recursively traverses all the files in your book, opens, writes the .mif file then re-recorded this file to your FM - washing apparently file everything watered in your FM file. Manually, this process takes forever. And even if you see frequent references to: did you do a mifwash yet? "when someone has a problem, there is no documentation on what I found.

  It is a "sample" allowing Adobe script.

  Go whenever you have installed FrameMaker and navigate to the BookMIFWash folder or browse to the file BookComponentMIFWash.dll, which in my case was to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker11\Samples\ScriptsAndUtilities\BookMIFWash.

  Copy the file BookComponentMIFWash.dll in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker11\fminit.

  Restart the console.

  Then you will see that nothing has changed.  ;-)

  You must select the book with your mouse in the Document window, and then the menu item utilities book "dynamically" appears. Down there, you will find some MIF Wash book.

  I always pay attention to the warning to make sure that I have a copy of the entire project before running it. :-)

  Hope this helps someone else.

• Conditional text in the output for the Responsive HTML5 file structure

  I am looking at transforming our old help .chm help Responsive HTML5. I'm looking blog a William van Weelden on the subject (fusion Multiscreen HTML5 help). I hope it applies to sensitive HTML5 as well.

  My question is about the structure of output folder. Its structure looks like this:

  

  

  My application is available in two modes (Mode A and B of the Mode for example). Therefore, I have conditional text in sections Mode A and Mode B. should create folders of output under each child for each mode project? If so, do I have to create them in each folder profile screen so (so far, I don't know what profile I need other than the desktop).

  I use RoboHelp 11.0.4.291.

  Reactive help works different from Multiscreen (it's easy!). See: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/blog/2014/03/18/adobe-robohelp-merging-responsive-html5-help

  With the help of reagents, you have only 1jeu of content for all devices. If you want 2 different CBT applied, you will need to create two outputs.

• Books of fusion and OCD using conditional text

  Hi all

  I'm trying to merge four books with similar content in one book by using conditional text.

  Instead of going to and comparing the three output files (pdf) one by one, I went through and tried to compare the documents/chapters in each book one by one. I applied the conditions for text added or deleted accordingly (it was a shortcut, and I know, not really advisable). But the problem I am facing now is that the table of contents do not work, if I try the technique of comparison.

  My question is, are at - it another way to merge several books and their tables of contents in one only book and table of contents, other than each chapter line-by-line reading and apply conditional text tags to associated content?

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  RG

  Post edited by: Rashmi gourn Hello... anyone? No help is available for conditional tagging in Framemaker, AFAIK. Wait for some sort of answer from the experts here... Kind regards

  Simply create a new book file that contains all the files (with the exception of the generated - including the table of contents). Then create the appropriate - including the TOC generated files. You can import the existing formatting from the relevant files generated in an other books.

• 2014 CC Dreamweaver takes conditional text? Specifically, I can put all my tech in a location data and the output of the subsets of data (doc Admin against doc user versus doc Marketing) based on tags or other methods?

  CC of Dreamweaver takes conditional text? Specifically, can I put all of my tech data in a doc of DW and the output of the subsets of data (doc Admin against doc user versus doc Marketing) based on tags or other methods?

  I don't have any front-end text editor (such as FrameMaker) or I'd do it here. Dreamweaver can do this without complex workarounds or procedures not supported?

  Thank you very much.

  Mike the Newbie

  OK, that's fine. DW not conditionalization and I'll see if I can get what I need to do or find another approach.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

• 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 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.

• InDesign: Conditional text

  I'm using conditional text, and has highlighted a large number of things. I intend to remove the highlight but seem to be rather deleted all the text which has been replaced by red arrows. I saved the document without noticing. Can we retrieve the text? How did I lose red arrows?

• Any shortcut? -to apply a particular conditional text

  Hello

  Is there the 'shortcut' keyboard keys I can push to apply a specific condition in the text that I score? -It's too heavy to click with the "arrow/mouse" every time I have to mark the text to be conditioned.

  If it is not is it easy for Adobe to make this option to access specific conditional text?  -I see the different colours next to each conditional text but y at - it a way I can give a shortcut to each that related to different colours? IM thinking to push the buttons of the keyboard as Ctrl + y etc.

  I'd appreciate the help.

  Use quick apply. Press Cmd/Ctrl-return. The dialog box apply Quick will pop up. Then start typing the name of the condition to you. You can apply conditions like that with just a few keystrokes. It totally ignores the arrow/mouse.

• Has anyone seen this error of conditional text: show/hide is incompatible?

  When I generate my book file, I get the following error in the log:

  Show/hide hidden is incompatible.

  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve this problem?

  Thank you

  Janie Gulley

  FrameMaker assumes that when you export a book, you would like conditional text to shown the same way across all documents in the book. It warns you if it is not so.

  "Show/hide hidden is incompatible" means that the hidden state is not configured the same throughout your book. For example, it can be displayed in some documents but hidden in others, or an indicator of Condition red in some texts, but blue in others.

  To resolve this problem:

  1. Select a document in your book where the conditional text settings are correct and open.
  2. Click on the book and type Ctrl + A to select all the documents in it.
  3. Choose file > import > Formats. Import the Formats dialog box appears:
     1. Click deselect all.
     2. Check the conditional text settings .
     3. Click import.

  All the documents in your book have now the same conditional text as your chosen document settings.

• Guidelines for the use of conditional text

  I'm looking for instructions on the use of conditional text. Our company has grown, and that the range of products has increased, the number of conditional text tags has increased. We are up to 30 tags and continues to grow. I was struck my colleague to start breaking this system a bit, because I'm afraid, it becomes a House of cards. Colleague has been 20 years and grew up with the system - it's the only one that it is used. He sees nothing wrong with it. The tags are in its abbreviation. When I mentioned that everybody don't would not new understand them, his response was that they would teach them eventually. Also, it's starting to get to the point where some sentences are be mislabeled, causing many errors.

  Are there guidelines I refer who say in the use of conditional text is too large so that it's not just my word? 

  
  

  Milmacrose

  You might want to take a look at Matt Sullivan & Sarah O'Keefe book (edition Fundamentals - unstructured FrameMaker 11; Chapter 24) for some background information on the consequences of the use of the multiple conditional tags. Depending on what your choice (i.e. to hide or show content based on the condition tag), you can get in very complex situations with some items possibly requiring each combination of tags applied to prevent display (or display) as needed. Even with simple simple conditional tags, it can reach a very large number of unique tags required (mathematically, you are summing a series of combinations). For example, [as used in the Book], given a product in Light versions, Standard and Pro with specific online requirements & Print for Mac, Windows and Unix, there are 32 conditional tags applied correctly. If you have content that should appear in a few versions, it climbs easily up to 47 unique tags. You'd be better trying to herd a bunch of cats in a field of grass cat...

• sort by alphabetical order of conditional text tags

  Is it possible to reorder tags within the pod of conditional text so that they are in alphabetical order?

  Assuming that they are presented in the same order as they appear in the data structures, it should be possible to save the document with MIF and reorganize all the

  # end of Condition

  Tags inside

  # end of ConditionCatalog

  then re - save the MIF, open and re - save as. FM.

• How desiginations a conditional text character style?

  I use a script posted here by Mr. Jarek

  Help find/replace by list

  I need to apply a style of character instead of a highlight color.

  The script has a condition:

  name: "mFound."

  indicatorMethod: ConditionIndicatorMethod.USE_HIGHLIGHT,

  underlineIndicatorAppearance: ConditionUnderlineIndicatorAppearance.SOLID

  The script can be changed?
