Hi, Tawni. Yes this was fixed. In RoboHelp v7 you can now
show or hide the color shading of conditional elements (at the
content or topic level) and in fact choose to see it (or not) in
the Project Manager and/or in the Design (WYSIWYG) editor (or the
TOC editor for that matter). The robust customization comes with a
bit of a jolt however.
For example, I could elect to see the shading on a topic in
the Project Manager and yet not see conditional content shading
inside the Design editor view itself. What is affected by the View
> Show command is determined by what pod has the focus at the
time. This offers many combinations of views.
When I first used it, I had the expectation that using the
show/hide command would affect all conditional shading globally. It
does not. So you must pay attention to what pod (Project Manager,
TOC, etc) has the focus when you use the command.
To me, the increased flexibility still has some rough edges.
I would still like to see a "global" show on/off switch and will
put this in as a request.
Thanx,
john
