Conditional text

bookie · Post by **bookie** » Mon Sep 26, 2016 12:51 pm

I don't see any conditional text function in Atlantis--please confirm I'm not missing anything.

Is there any recommended add-on or plugin etc which would add conditional functionality to Atlantis?

Thanks,

What exactly do you mean by “conditional functionality”? Can you give practical examples?

Thanks for your interest, Robert.

I'm a tiny publisher who publishes ebooks to the main online retailers. Understandably but unfortunately, Apple will not allow links to Amazon, and vice versa, same with the others.

Problem = I end up having to produce 5-6 versions of each book, one for each different retail outlet. Not fun.

Example:
If you liked this book Intro to Gadgets, you should check out its companion Intro to Widgets:
Amazon link
Apple link
Barnes & Noble link
etc more links.

Currently I manually delete the links for the other retailers from each of the retailer-specific versions of the book, leaving just the one link to the specific retailer.

Solution would enable me to make one master document with all the links in Atlantis, tag the changeable bits, eg <AppleOnly>, and then have the software save the different versions for me.

I am afraid there is nothing of the kind in Atlantis. This has to be done manually.
