<Delete Topic Area Topic>

You can use the <Delete Topic Area Topic> command to specify that a topic associated with 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 Topic> topicArea,  topicAreaTopic

topicArea

A text string specifying the topic area associated with the topic.

topicAreaTopic

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

DESCRIPTION

If a Mixin guide file includes a <Delete Topic Area Topic> command, when Apple Guide mixes in the main guide file with the Mixin guide file, the topic specified by the topicAreaTopic parameter will not be displayed. If the main guide file is not mixed in with the Mixin guide file, the topic is displayed.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

The <Delete Topic Area Topic> 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 Topic> command, you must specify a SYM file in the symName parameter of the <Mixin> command.

EXAMPLES

#do not show this topic if the main guide file is mixed in
# with this guide file
<Delete Topic Area Topic> "Printing", "select a printer?"
