Conditional Tags

Hi,

In case this example helps, here's what our Java developers do in a general sense (and this is excluding context-sensitive help):

Say I have different outputs based on user roles, and I have used conditional tags to differentiate the outputs. Since the different outputs are in different directories, the developers code the help link to detect whatever role the user has, and then the corresponding help directory is dynamically inserted in the path in the help link. Thus, when the administrator clicks "Help," he gets the help in a directory that I may have called "admin."

If this thread is related to your other one about languages, in that case the code would detect the language that the user is viewing in and dynamically put the right directory structure in the help link path. (This would apply whether you had your languages in separate help projects or the same one.)

Hope that helps. But as Rick said, it's on the developers to figure out the specifics.

With Conditional Build Tags, you tag information to be excluded at the time you create your help output. So lets say you want an output for a US audience and one for a UK audience. You would have all the content in a single set of source files,k then generate two separate help systems.

If linking to an application, the application developer would need to know which help system to link to. That all falls squarely in the lap of the developer.

From what you asked, it would seem you believe information is tagged and parameters are passed from the application to use the build tags. That's not the way they work.
