Any way to hide unconditional text?

[Gay Alson]

Hello again, Framers,

 

(FrameMaker 9.0p255, Windows 7 64-bit.)

 

Does the following make sense?

 

Let's say we have 100 text inset files for use in various chapters of
various books. Each TI file starts with this:

 

     <Filename - Long> system variable
     <Creation Date - Short> system variable
     <Description> Not a variable; a text description of the text inset
file.
     <Product> Not a variable; an indication whether the text inset is
app-specific or global. 

 

This information is conditionalized with the Metadata tag (which is used
only here and nowhere else in any of the TI files). 

For reporting and versioning purposes, I want to copy and paste each
text inset file into a file called "TextInsets.fm". In this file, I want
to show ONLY text bearing the Metadata tag. However, although I can hide
all of the other condition tags, I can't hide unconditional text. (And I
don't want to have to tag unconditional text with a condition called
Unconditional, just to be able to hide it...!)

Am I overlooking something obvious, or a better way to accomplish this?

 

Thanks for any suggestions,

~~Gay
