TCS3.5 > FM10 to RoboHelp: Handling 'more info' help links in FM original

[Steve Whalley]

Hi Richard,

Thanks. Yes, of course, we have the condition tags. However, the issue here is how we use them to (as I said) 'mimic' the presentation of our 'old' help.

Regards - Steve

If you're producing both online help and print/PDF from the same source, don't you already have output-specific condition tags in FM (like "print" and "help")?
