Re: Reltable conditioning

Hi Radu: Oh, it sounds like I'll have to copy the map and just delete those parts then. :( I need to change the output based on the output type. Adding relatable entries for topics side-by-side in the map makes sense, but adding them for the same topics in PDF output is too much. Good to know it isn...

Reltable conditioning

Hi There: Is it possible to condition out reltable topics? I've set up prop values to include "webhelp" (to omit the reltable .ditamap for pdf output), but the reltable links are still showing up in the PDF output. I'm trying to figure out if its supported (conditioning out reltables), or ...

Hi All: I'm looking for suggestions and hopefully examples of how you work with images when you plan on showing two images together (desktop and mobile). Output is PDF (using CSS) and webhelp.

It was happening both from 23.1 and 24.1.
