I am using FrameMaker 7.2 and trying to insert conditional text into page headers. According to FrameMaker Help, the <$condtag> building block should find and apply conditional text in a page header. However, FrameMaker 7.2 seems unable to find the text with the conditional tag ("2nd edition") that I want in the header. FrameMaker IS able to find the "2nd edition" conditional tag when I use the Find/Change utility.
This is the the definition of the page header in my document:
<$paratext[Head2,Head3]><$condtag[2nd edition,\ ]>
The header that is generated shows a second level or third level heading followed by the text "2nd edition," for example:
2.1-Storing Files2nd edition
. . . which is NOT what I want. I want the 2.1 text that I've conditionally tagged "2nd edition" to appear in the header, for example:
2.1-Storing Customer Files
Is the syntax that I've used incorrect or is this problem a software bug?
