In my company there are four manuals that have several chapters that are almost identical. I created four separate book files (one for each manual), with some of the chapters unique to each book, and some chapters shared between the four books. In the shared chapters, I use conditional text for each manual to mark the differences between the manuals.
One thing I like is that I can condition an entire table as manual A and manual B (by conditionalizing the table marker), then mark one row as manual A and a different row as manual B, and the table appears in both manuals, with the appropriate rows displayed. Two things I don't like: 1. When I conditionalize a table marker, it's very hard to see the conditional indicator. 2. When I conditionalize a table row, I can search for the row by search for that conditional text type. To me, that is a big drawback, and I often end up conditionalizing the text in the row instead of the table row, which is more time consuming.
