Description David O'Brien 2009-05-13 03:04:33 UTC

Description of problem:

When creating pdf files, publican does not respect the use of condition attributes (e.g., <para condition="fedora">) to specify that only certain parts of a document be built.

When used to create html output, the results are as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.45

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a para or other suitable tag, and include a condition attribute.
2. Create a second para, and use a different condition
3. Build the book specifying a single condition

  
Actual results:

Paragraphs of both conditions are displayed.

Expected results:

Only the paragraph of the specified condition should display.

ok, this is not a pdf problem, it's a function of where the condition exists.

The condition I was using was in the Feedback.xml file, part of /Common_Content, and this does not respect conditions in either html or pdf.

If I create a local Feedback.xml then the conditions are respected in both html and pdf.

So, still a problem, but not a critical problem. It just means creating a local Feedback.xml file for every book.

A bit more education and it turns out this is not an issue.
