this is a little confusing to me.
If the condition
if ($action=='edit') { SetTmplDisplay('PageRightFmt', 0); ... };
does not apply when preview is invoked how can one set a condition
when preview applies?
But if I understood you correctly there is nothing a skin can do to
influence the page rendering when preview is invoked?
I tried an ugly hack to change the showright markup conditionally, but
it does not work:
#default showright markup:
Markup('showright','directives','/\\(:showright:\\)/e',
  "SetTmplDisplay('PageRightFmt', 1)");
#conditional showright markup:
if ($action=='edit') { 
Markup('showright','directives','/\\(:showright:\\)/e',
  "SetTmplDisplay('PageRightFmt', 0)"); 
  };

Any other idea for a hack, or better to address the "design
misfeature"?
