RE: Fixing condition text mess

["Debbi Fortney Correia" <debbi.fortney@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ed,
Not sure if this will help as it is still a manual procedure, but have
you considered creating an LOR using "Condition Tags"? When you
initially create this file it shows the condition name and the page
number, but you can change it on the LOR reference page to show
<$paratext> also. Then you can identify each paragraph that has
conditional text assigned and determine which text and/or condition tags
can be deleted. Of course if all of the text with a certain condition
tag applied can be deleted, deleting the condition tag will present the
option of deleting the associated text as well, but this would be on a
file-by-file basis. Importing condition tags won't delete tags that
aren't present in the file from which you are importing.

We have a number of books that have accumulated a lot of template/format
crud over the years. (They are "special" docs, indeed!)

The current problem is that the chapters have a semi-random collection
of miscellaneous conditional tags, many of which are apparently from
years ago and quite obsolete. When regenerating the book, it's easy to
get "inconsistent show/hide setting" and "inconsistent conditional
indicator" errors.
