Hi Gyanesh... Each time you regenerate your book, the conditional settings in effect, will define the content shown in the generated lists (Index and TOC specifically). The index is generated from index markers, and they will be used (or not) depending on their conditional tagging. This

Re: PDF Content reuse with Frame + DITA?

Thanks Scott! I think i will settle for show/hide. And if I do, is there a way to handle index/toc/variables (such as name of the book) automatically? Or do I do that manually? And let's say I have to implement DITA. Can I still publish two different PDFs selectively? And how will I carry out

PDF Content reuse with Frame + DITA?

Hello Framers, (Frame 7.2b144) For my product, I have 2 guides with similar content across different chapters. Can I publish two different PDFs from the same source (with selective content obviously). - How will this be done? Using topic IDs? - Is Show/hide a better option for this than

Re: PDF Content reuse with Frame + DITA?

Hi Gyanesh... If your main goal is to publish two different sets of content from the same FM source files, I'd think that your best bet is to just use conditional text (show/hide) in unstructured FM files. There are probably benefits you could gain by moving to structure and/or DITA (and it
