Table captions in CHM

Unread post by John Johann »

Hi,
My projects for CHM and PDF output currently contain captions in the following format

Code: Select all

<conditional-text type="IF" value="PDF,PRINT"/><figurelabel id="TBL_ID001" type="table" figurelistinclude="1">&lt;%TABCAP%&gt; &lt;%HMTBLCOUNTER%&gt;:</figurelabel><tab /><var translate="false">&lt;%TAB_CAP_INPUTS%&gt;</var> ‘Some text here’<conditional-text type="END"/>
TAB_CAP_INPUTS is a variable containing generalised intro text.
To simplify things, I'd like to remove the IF PDF,PRINT condition. That would then also add numbered table captions to the CHM or any other output formats.

Are there any reasons not to do this?
Will the captions in the CHM increment as in the pdf?
Does the build time change?
Thanks

Hi John,

The counter variables are not format-specific, so that will work fine. 8)
