Using conditional tags to control Output and Dynamic Content Filtering

[Andy Snape]

I am trying to set up a project with two outputs, one to a Microsoft CHM and one to HTML5. I want a different stylesheet used in each case so I have used a conditional tag to link to the css for each output. This works well.

The site documents software features and I now want to add a dynamic content filter that will change visibility of the pages according to a condition tag (I have tags for 2024 and 2025 currently).

I built a test project with four pages. I applied a 2024 tag to one page, a 2025 tag to another page, and no tag to the others. Dynamic filtering worked well.

When I add in the output condition it fails. If I have the output condition and I add the year filtering, it fails. Ii seems you can use the date condition tag OR the output condition tag. 

Is there a way to combine them to produce a web outout that has the date filtering capability, and a chm that also allows date filtering?

Dynamic Content Filtering is described here. RH2022 Dynamic Content Filtering (grainge.org)

It is not supported for CHMs. The Microsoft Compiler was last updated in 2004.

I'm missing something here - what's with the output condition? IIRC dynamic content filtering only works with HTML5 outputs, not CHMs.
Maybe check out [brain fart - Rick's] MATT's video on it? https://youtu.be/FPAeL0KTxe8?si=K60nfdEOikGf2ZxW

The poster also mentioned webhelp (now Frameless or HTML5).

They haven't mentioned their version of RoboHelp though.
