Thanks Jeremy .. good point! Now that I read what I wrote, I can see how
it could be misunderstood. I meant that even if you do duplicate and
conditionalize markers just to change one word in that marker, it will
become a mess to manage. :)
The Index Tools Pro plugin claims to provide for "conditional index
entries" .. I'm not sure what that means exactly, but it may perhaps
make the process of conditionalizing individual markers easier. Our
plugin, MarkerTools, lets you insert a custom "building block" into
markers which maps to variables that are defined in your document .. in
essence allowing you to have variables within markers (not possible
without the plugin). This can give you a type of conditional control
within a marker (especially when used in conjunction with BookVars).

It's not only good practice, it's the law. ;-)
Frame *implements* conditional text using markers. So it's
flat-out impossible to conditionalize *within* a marker.
As Scott says, the closest you can get to that is:
you'd need to create duplicate markers with different text,
and conditionalize each marker accordingly. However this
is difficult to maintain ...
