Re: QUESTION: Frame Conditional Text, Multiple Tags and Show/Hide

["Eric L. Dunn" <edunn -at- TRANSPORT -dot- BOMBARDIER -dot- COM>]

Ask the question on the Framers list and you might get a better answer. But
from my understanding the logic of conditional text is OR when two
conditions are applied. If you require AND logic, the tags must be
combined.
In other words, text with both 'A' and 'B' conditions applied will show
whenever 'A' or 'B'  is set to show. To show the text only when 'A' AND 'B'
are show, then a new tag 'AB' must be made and applied to the text. Of
course you must now manage the show/hide taking into consideration that
when you set 'A' and 'B' to show, you must also set 'AB' to show, but if
either 'A' or 'B' are hide then 'AB' must be hide.

Subject:  QUESTION: Frame Conditional Text, Multiple Tags and Show/Hide




I have a document with only minor (<5%) changes over four end-results.
Basically, Standard and Professional manuals, for both HPUX 10.20 and
11.00.

Now, conditional text in Frame works fine when text only has a single
conditional tag applied to it. However, several lines and inserted
variables have, by necessity, double tags (ie, Pro + 10.20, Pro + 11.00,
Std + 10.20, Std + 11.00).

Text with multiple conditional tags shows up as meganta. However, when I
use show/hide to place two of the tags (say, 11.00 + Pro) into the "Show"
category, any of the magenta text with one of these tags but also with a
tag in the "Hide" category (ie, 10.20 +  Pro) gets displayed as well.

This is very annoying. Is there any way to circumvent this "feature" of
Frame?

Thank you for your time, attention, and help.
