Ability to globally delete all text/topics that have a certain conditional tag?

[kelly_usa]

When deleting a conditional tag in FrameMaker, there is an option to either delete all tagged text, or make the text unconditional. But in Robohelp, it seems the only option is to make the text unconditional. Is there any way to delete all the text with a specific conditional tag, other than deleting it manually? I am using Robo 7. Is there an option to do this in the newer versions? Thanks!

Hi there

RoboHelp offers no such option. You would have to achieve it using either the built in scripting of RoboHelp or by using a third party find and replace tool such as FAR or ReplacEm.

If you are bringing in content from FrameMaker and want to delete (not bring) certain content having a conditional text applied in the FM source, then while conversion there is a simple way to achieve it, apply "FrameMaker condition text build Expression" during Import/Link FM source.

If you use this option while you import or Link any FM source with conditions, then all the text/content having condition set as hidden in FrameMaker will get remove from the topics generated

but inside RoboHelp you dont have this option to directly remove content from topic, but while generating any output you have the option to exclude any content with a condition applied over it!

Hope this will help
