I can't get {show-if:display=print} to work.

I typed {show-if:display=print} at the top of the section, and {show-if} at the bottom of the section, and the error says "Unsupported display type: print."

I also tried {show-if:display=printing} (that's what the website has) and I get the same error message.

I'm using Confluence 2.5.7 and 2.6. Does this plugin not yet work for the newest version of Confluence?

Thanks!
Tiffany

Hi Tiffany,

It turns out the documentation was incorrect. It should be:

{show-if:display=printable}...{show-if}.

I have updated the documentation, and the next version will allow all three variations...

Documentation has been updated and the plugin now supports 'print', 'printable' or 'printing'.

Is there a way to put this around the table of contents macro? I want the toc to show in Confluence but not in Word or PDF.

I tried {show-if:display=printable} {toc} {show-if} and the toc wouldn't show on Confluence.

Then I tried {show-if:action=view} {toc} {show-if} and the output is:
<div>
<ul><a href='#DocumentStyleTest-sampledocument-SCOPE'>
<li>SCOPE</li></a>
<ul><a href='#DocumentStyleTest-sampledocument-SubsystemIdentification'>
<li>Subsystem Identification</li></a><a href='#DocumentStyleTest-sampledocument-SystemOverview'>
<li>System Overview</li></a>
<ul><a href='#DocumentStyleTest-sampledocument-%28FLS%29'>..................................................

Thanks!
Tiffany

If I assume correctly, the display= property is basically the media= for the HTML style tag.

Try display=screen

The display does't relate to 'media' at all - it's hard coded, based on options available in Confluence.

There are two issues here:

1. I think you actually want {hide-if:display=printable}, not {show-if}.
2. Even if you do, you will have the same problem as when using 'action=view'. I've raise a ~~VISIB-29~~ for that issue.

In the case of {toc}, the best way is probably to use the built-in printable test. Eg:

{toc:printable=false}

Again, it will only work in 'printable' mode, not PDF or Word at present, but a new version of TOC is due out shortly which will rectify that.
