One more question about sharing FM files
In the footer, is it better to use a variable for the book name or hidden conditional text. Conditional text seems better in the sense that there probably are other things in the chapter that are conditional, but I've heard there is a limitation on the amount of conditional text types you can have. What do most people do for this? -- Regards, Shmuel Wolfson
One more question about sharing FM files
Shmuel, Not sure about any limits, but I have a book that is pdf'd in 6 different variations. I create a book name variable for them all and then apply conditional text to each variable. I've not had any issues so far.

I've done it both ways, but much more commonly with variables. I think that is also easier.

Re: One more question about sharing FM files
We use variables...the same variable for the footer and the cover. We're heading toward using the BookVars plugin to manage our variables...we have, maybe, 100 variables of various types? --- Shmuel Wolfson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In the footer, is it better to use a variable for the book name or > hidden conditional text.

I prefer variables. That way I can show all conditional text and not get a mess! Of course, I use a variable for the book name even when it's *not* conditional. We are ever-changing here, and I'd go nuts if I depending on terminology from one day to the next :). I use the Bookvars tool to manage my variables.
