On vacation with only
my phone, so sorry for the crap email. I'll look more closely when I
get home.
By default,
yelp-build doesn't set any platform: tokens. You can set them with a
param in the customization stylesheet you pass with -x. In general, if
a page is useless without tokens set, it's probably a case for using
if:else.

This is indeed a valid issue. The content at
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/gs-browse-web.html is
incomplete and thus broken because the site scripts just call yelp-build
and serve the output as static HTML on the site, I believe. Running
yelp-build locally shows that the conditional content is dropped from the
HTML output.
Shaun, could shed some more light on how yelp-build treats conditional
content?
(Just to clarify, in gs-browse-web we check for the user's distro, not
browser. Browser check is not implemented.)
Thanks,
