Thanks for your interest, Rick.
But I still can't get it working.
Directly inserting a snippet into the dropdown doesn't work,
but your idea of pasting from the clipboard does work. And the
dropdown snippet is successfully suppressed in the print output
(Condition: Print). As you had noted, the Preview window result is
sometimes incorrect, but after compilation the snippet is present
and updated.
But I couldn't suppress the "fixed" snippet in the Online
output. Indeed, if I peek in the HTML I see that the "x-condition:
Print;" ends before the "placeholder" of the snippet, and begins
again afterwards.
I tried editing the HTML directly; adding the x-condition to
the placeholder, then wrapping the snippet in a <span>, but
RoboHelp silently cleaned up my efforts.
Any other suggestions?
