Links, Topics, Builds, and Conditional Text.

Unread post by John Smith »

As you are aware if a Topic (B) is referred to by another Topic (A) then Topic B will always be included in the build if Topic A is included, irrespective of Builds for Topic B.

Also, If you have conditional Text around the link to match the builds of Topic B, then it is set, and can only be manaully changed.

What I would like to see, is the ability to add Conditional Text for builds, but based on the builds of a certain topic. That way If you change the build on the topic, the conditional text will be based on the new builds chosen.

Something like this

IF Building "Topic B"

Refer to blah blah LINK

End If

This would help with the problem of links pulling in topics you do not want, and also take care of the text you have with a link. It would be far more flexible when providing Help on different versions of software and, you do not have to go and change all the conditional text around any link when you change builds for a topic.
