Conditional Tagging and Filtering

One of the most useful aspects of Adobe RoboHelp is the ability to use something known as Condition Tags. These allow the RoboHelp author to define tags and apply them to content so that information may be used in different ways.

The basic use of Condition Tags is to control what content ends up in the output. For example, perhaps this project should be output as a customer, or a potential student should see it. In this case, certain information such as this author information should be omitted when the output is created. And to do this, all topics containing information only intended for the RoboHelp author have been tagged. When output is generated, a condition expression is used that results in removing or "leaving behind' information that is not intended to be included in the output.
