Subject:Re: conditional text alternative for RoboHELP From:Char James-Tanny <CharJT -at- helpstuff -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 07 Mar 2002 11:21:37 -0500
Hi, Lin :-)
RoboHelp Classic has included build tags since...well, for quite awhile ;-)
Build tags have been available in RoboHelp HTML since Version 2000 (or 8).
Build tags let developers include or exclude entire topics from the output.
However, they are not the same as conditional text, which allows developers to
include or exclude parts of a topic (characters, words, paragraphs, etc.).
The RoboHelp family of products doesn't support conditional text.
