Steve, Using conditional text to blend something in or out on the RoboHelp side does not seem to be the most author-friendly method.
I think the more elegant solution would be to include some ExtendScript in RoboHelp to process the info that is included in the FrameMaker files. If you are using structured FrameMaker, define a couple of special-purpose elements to allow clean definition of the 'see more' links in the FrameMaker source. If you are using unstructured FM, define special-purpose paragraph formats to do the same. Either way, you should be able to have a script on the RoboHelp side pick up the special purpose elements or formats and turn them into genuine 'Related topics' links. ExtendScript is part of RoboHelp out of the box and does not require a whole lot of programming experience. Should you need some help after all, just drop me a line and I will see what I can do for you.
