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. Additional info:
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.
