XMetaL Secrets: Conditional Text for Any Document TypeDate: Thursday, August 12, 2010
Time: 11:00 am PT | 2:00 pm ET
Presenter:Tom Magliery, XML Technology Specialist, JustSystems
XMetaL Author Enterprise includes some powerful and user-friendly features for working with conditional text:
- Dialog for assigning conditions to elements in your document
- Dialog for specifying display colors/highlights for conditional text
- Dialog for choosing conditions to be applied at publication time
- Simple XML configuration file for specifying attribute names/values to appear in these dialogs
Out-of-the-box, these features are available only for DITA documents, but they are implemented using an XMetaL subsystem that can handle attribute-based conditional text in any XML document type. For document types other than DITA, the subsystem is not yet fully developed, but there are some partially-tested, undocumented APIs that customizers can use (with caution) to make these features available. Join this webinar for a short introduction that includes code examples and current limitations.
