<Delete Topic Area>

You can use the <Delete Topic Area> command to specify that a topic area defined in a main guide file should not be displayed if the main guide file is mixed in with your Mixin guide file.

<Delete Topic Area> topicArea

topicArea

A text string specifying the topic area that should not be displayed when the mixin is mixed in with the main guide file.

DESCRIPTION

If a Mixin guide file includes a <Delete Topic Area> command, when Apple Guide mixes in the main guide file with the Mixin, the topic area specified by the topicArea parameter will not be shown in the list of topic areas when Topics is active. If the main guide file is not mixed in with the Mixin guide file, the topic area is shown in the list.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

The <Delete Topic Area> command can be used only in the source file for a Mixin guide file that also includes the <Mixin> command. To use the <Delete Topic Area> command, you must specify a SYM file in the symName parameter of the <Mixin> command.

EXAMPLES

#do not show this topic area if the main guide file is 
# mixed in with this guide file
<Delete Topic Area> "Printing"
