Re: [galaxy-dev] complex help for conditional param
Hi Jun, Thanks for the clarification - I did not read your question carefully enough, sorry. I don't think this is possible. What I would use is just: param name=type type=select label=BLAST type option value=blastnBLASTN, for DNA against DNA/option option value=blastpBLASTP, for protein against protein/option /param Regards, Peter On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 10:29 PM, Jun Fan j@qmul.ac.uk wrote: Hi Peter, I am afraid that the link you gave me could not solve the problem.

[galaxy-dev] complex help for conditional param
Hi all, In the conditional param, when sub-element allows you to write specific parameters for a particular value selected. I am wondering how to write the help context according to the value selection. For example, if there is a conditional param called blast_type, when blastn is selected, the help context will be blast dna against dna and when blastp is selected, the help context will be blast protein against protein. Basically this selection-based help text provides a general description of the selection, which could help to set up the corresponding parameters. By the way, is there any document about formatting text in the help element? Best regards! Jun ___ Please keep all replies on the list by using reply all in your mail client.
