There is a Conditional text mechanism. The Help file says
"Conditional Text You can set up fields in your document that
display text when a condition that you define is met. For example,
you can define the conditional text that is displayed in a series
of reminder letters. Setting up conditional text in this example is
a two-part process. First you create a variable, and then you
create the condition."
Sure, but there is a problem with Conditional texts, which is - it
requires a else condition. Now, I don't want a else condition. To
explain things further, I am building a OpenOffice extension that
allows switch case conditional text. For example:
if editor EQ "emacs" "Saint Ignatious" elsif editor EQ "vim" "ahoy
vim" elsif editor EQ "blah" "blah
Now, before I can build such an extension, Openoffice XML spec much
support such a field. The closest I found was, Conditional Text and
hidden text. The problem with, Conditional text is - it requires a
else condition and problem with hidden field is, it does opposite of
what I want.
For example, if Hidden text behaved such that, if condition specified
is true, then show the text else hide the text, my OpenOffice
extension can generate following XML in the document:
<text:hidden-text text:condition="ooow:editor EQ "emacs""
text:string-value="Sait emacs" text:is-hidden="true">Wow
man</text:hidden-text> <text:hidden-text text:condition="ooow:editor
EQ "vim"" text:string-value="Saint vim" text:is-hidden="true">Wow
man</text:hidden-text>
Now, obviously this is not possible because - hidden text actually
hides the text, rather than displaying it.
So you want to show either "emacs" or "vim"? Then set up a text, which
has both in it. With one condition you hide "emacs" and with the
opposite condition you hide "vim". (To be honest, I've not tried it yet.)
Kind regards
Regina
