55.0. "<ONLINE_POPUP> and <ENDONLINE_POPUP> tags" by GIZMOE::SKOGLUND () Wed Dec 28 1988 08:51

    Now that I've got everything working for the ONLINE doctype, I tried 
    running that file with the REPORT doctype and got messages that the 
    <ONLINE_POPUP> and <ENDONLINE_POPUP> tags are undefined.  

    What do I do now?

    You're right: those tags are recognized for the software doctypes
    but not for the REPORT doctype. My apologies: I could have (and
    will) provide a workaround for that in the next baselevel. 
    
    A short-term fix would be to create a tag definition file that
    you include when you process for the REPORT doctype:
    
    <define>(online_popup\)
    <define>(endonline_popup\)
    
    The tags will then be recognized and, because their definitions are
    null, nothing will be written into the output file.

55.2Another workaroundNEWS::LMELEWSKIThu Dec 29 1988 15:5517
    Another workaround would be to conditionalize the online_popup
    and endonline_popup so that when processing for online, you would
    need have to use the /condition qualifier. Example:
    
    <condition>(online)
    <online_popup>
    .
    .
    .
    <endonline_popup>
    <endcondition>
    
    When processing for on line, use /CONDITION=ONLINE.
    
    "My two cents worth"
    
    
55.3CLOSET::UTTThu Dec 29 1988 16:0115
    If you wanted the text or whatever between the online popup tags
    you would have to code it:
    
    <condition>(online)
    <online_popup>(xx)
    <endcondition>
    ...
    <condition>(online)
    <endonline_popup>
    <endcondition>
    
    Many people find this solution less than desirable for other reasons,
    especially since you can only specify one condition on the command
    line so if you have some other condition already in the file, you
    may have problems. 
55.4LPAHAND tooCURIE::HEBERTDanced my legs right down to my kneesFri Apr 21 1989 11:219
I also found that the LPAHAND doctype doesn't recognize the 
<ONLINE_POPUP> and <ENDONLINE_POPUP> tags. Will this also be fixed in the next 
baselevel (in addition to fixing it for the REPORT doctype)?

(I am using the latest Bookreader baselevel...)

thanks,

Charlotte

    You need to include a definitions file in order for those tags to be
    recognized for hardcopy output. The file, its whereabouts, and related
    information about using it are documented in 'Coding Documentation
    Source Files for the DECwindows Bookreader.' (Pointers to that document
    are in note 64.3.) There are no plans to support the REPORT doctype 
    online for the next baselevel.
