<div dir="ltr">Note that if any of the unused conditions are still
defined in any of the chapter files, the names will reappear in
the book file the next time you do an Update Book operation. <br>
<br>
Also note that a book file cannot contain conditional text
*markers* as you originally asked about. Conditional text
markers are non-printing symbols that appear in a text flow to
encapsulate hidden conditionalized content when the content's
condition(s) is set to hide rather than show. Since the book
file has no text flows, it cannot contain markers. What it
*does* contain is a compiled list of the names of all the
conditions that exist in any of the component .fm files. Yes,
I'm being picky about terminology, but conditional text is
complicated enough (and misunderstood enough by many users) that
there's no need to add more confusion.<br>

book file as a MIF, open the MIF in a text editor, delete the
condition, and then resave it as a BOOK file. It's not as hard
as it sounds. Here is an example of the lines you would need
to delete for the "Comment" condition:<br>
