Hi,
Is there a way to use a single snippet within the same topic and apply snippet conditions at the actual snippet level? Is there a way to add the html code to achieve this after inserting the snippet.
Example, I have a procedure that users can proceed in two ways. If they follow method 1, they have to use a table that has 6 rows if they follow method 2, they have to use a table that has 8 rows. I have used a condition named Topic 2 for the extra two rows. When I add this table to the topic, I want to exclude the two rows in the first instance of the snippet and have it in the second instance.
Thanks,
Deepti

Re: Varying Snippet conditions within same topic
No, you can't use different snippet conditions within the same topic - the snippet condition is set for the topic, not the instance of the snippet.
You'll probably have to break it up into 2-3 separate snippets.

Thank you Dave. I will submit a feature request on this one. I don't know if it is just me, but, I think such setting the condition at the instance level will be quite helpful in single-sourcing content.

I also submitted this feature request a few months ago.deeptikorwar wrote:Thank you Dave. I will submit a feature request on this one. I don't know if it is just me, but, I think such setting the condition at the instance level will be quite helpful in single-sourcing content.
I can't count the number of times I've created a table and wished for this feature.
