I'm in need of some advice regarding condition tags.
I have a topic that discusses the use of a single software driver that is known by 2 names. Ugh. In the topic, both names are mentioned but they are condition tagged. There are also snippets in the topic that mentions both drivers — I have not applied snippet conditions in this particular topic.
XML:
Code: Select all
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet <MadCap:conditionalText MadCap:conditions="Driver1">DRIVER-1</MadCap:conditionalText><MadCap:conditionalText MadCap:conditions="Driver2">DRIVER-2</MadCap:conditionalText> consectetur adipiscing elit.
I thought that adding the condition tags to the TOC entry properties would hide the "other" driver at run time: Light blue topics should only say "DRIVER-1", dark blue topics should say "DRIVER-2".
I was mistaken ... when I build my target I get:
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet DRIVER-1DRIVER-2 consectetur adipiscing elit."
in both topics.
I think I need to use snippets here but then I will have snippets embedded within other snippets, and I really haven't had much luck with those — I originally had the text as a snippet with other snippets embedded in them (those snippets are used elsewhere), but because they were talking about the same drivers, I didn't snippet-condition them thinking I could do it at the TOC.
Is there a way to achieving what I need without going back to snippets-in-snippets??
