Hello list, I'm struggling a bit here with conditionals, specifically text containing cross-references. The original unstructured book is 40 chapters and 14 appendices with all the other usual front and back matter. It is in distribution as a PDF. Naturally it has a ton of cross-references and navigation aids.
The book is too big to print so the current project is to break it into three volumes for indy publication as paper books via CreateSpace. The one thing that is holding me up and driving me bananas is that, although I'm conditioning these cross-refs out of the print books, I can't get through a book update because they are being treated as unresolved. I *am* setting the updates not to update cross-refs. Is there something I can do to make the update process ignore the unresolved cross-refs so that it will continue and generate the TOC and the index? Or do I literally have to work with completely separated projects for each of the four book options? I hope not, as I want and need to keep the main book as single source. I look forward to any tips or tricks to achieve what I want to do. Thanks, Helen
