Conditional Text

[Greg]

Is there a way to apply a conditional text to a style?

For example, if I don't want any images in a version of online help and I want to get rid of all figure captions in one click.

Thanks

As of Flare 12, yes, one can apply a condition to a style. It's covered in the Flare Help system.

Hi Nita,

I´m using Flare 11, is for THIS version any way to apply a condition to a style?

After looking in the web, I´ve found some ideas to write it directly in the styles.css,
but it does not work so far:

For my tasks I´ve a condition at the beginning and a result at the end,
maybe I try to use it in the screen output only ... Therefore my new entry "data-mc-conditions: ScreenOnly; "
should show it in the ScreenOnly condition only.

---
p.Task_Result
{
mc-leader-indent: 5pt;
margin-right: 0px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
min-height: 35px;
background-position: left middle;
text-align: left;
text-indent: 0px;
margin-top: 0pt;
data-mc-conditions: ScreenOnly;
font-family: Sennheiser-Book;
height: 0;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
mc-auto-number-format: '{color: 0092d0}{b}Result: {/b}{/color}';
}

Sorry, but to the best of my knowledge, no. The ability to apply a condition to a style was new functionality added in Flare 12. Unless someone else can suggest something, I think you are not going to get Flare 11 to apply a condition to a style.

I second what Nita says. Just not possible before Flare 12, so you have to apply the style, and then apply the condition separately. I use the Conditions keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C LOADS, and it makes it not too painful to do. From Flare 12, if you have a condition included in a style, it does the same thing in the code of your document, but automatically.

Hi there,

If you have to stay with Flare 11, then one option might be to make a new medium for the outputs where you do not want the images (and other content) to display, and apply that medium to the required targets. You can then use CSS to hide the elements:

Code: Select all

img {
display:none;
}

Note: The above will hide all images, so if you want to selectively hide images you would need to create a 'display/do not display' class, and then apply that class to the images that you want to include/exclude.

Code: Select all

img.DoNotDisplay {
display:none;
}

You should be able to do something similar with most elements.

Hi all,
I'd like to apply a condition to a style but I'm having trouble finding how to do this in the Madcap Documentation, as opposed to applying a style to a condition.
Can someone point me to the article?

Thanks!
