Doug,     I agree with Lin, that it is more straightforward to avoid "negative" tags that would have been used to indicate when you don't want content included. Like him, I would use six tags: 40, 41, 42, 44, PDF, and HTML and apply one or more of them to content that doesn't appear in all

Lin, Looks like that works. I had been trying to apply multiple condition tags to the HTML (and PDF) sections, but that wasn't working. What worked was applying a single condition tag that was named for the multiple conditions. For instance, instead of applying the following four tags:

Conditioning text works best if you keep it consistent: all of your conditions should be constructed either for the information you DO want to appear in a specific document or for information you DON'T want to appear in a specific document. Making some conditions for information you want in and

If the chapter isn't needed in the book, then exclude the chapter from the book. No conditional tagging needed. Sean On Fri, Dec 20, 2019 at 11:38 AM Doug wrote: > Things are getting complicated. > > I'm currently editing a chapter that is common to four books. The books > are 40, 41, 42, and

Things are getting complicated. I'm currently editing a chapter that is common to four books. The books are 40, 41, 42, and 44. Some content isn't applicable to book 44, so I've set up a condition tag named "Not 44". The problematic content sections use the tags (Not 44+PDF) and (Not 44+HTML),

Peter,     Yes, multiple instances of FM can be running at the same time on the same machine.  I often have one instance in which I work on application development and another in which I test the environment I will provide to end users.     --Lynne On 12/19/2019 8:30 PM, Peter Gold wrote:
