relatedTopics and PDF output

Post by pdxwordsmith »

I'm finally getting around to adding bells and whistles (such as drop-downs) to my project. I have a hand-created "See also" lists at the ends of most topics and was looking into converting these to relatedTopics drop-downs. I did a test WebHelp build and all looks good, but these disappear from the PDF output (with an error):

Code: Select all

IntroITVManager.htm: Related Topic control found in file: "Content/iTV-Manager/IntroITVManager.htm". It will be removed from the output.
Has anyone figured out how to get these to show up in the PDF, perhaps as a "See also" list?

I'd rather not conditionalize for PDF and OLH, since a lot of these lists include conditionalized links - I think I need to create duplicate relatedTopic controls and conditionalize the entire thing.
