I love condition tags. I have aiesmplcohcd a task that some writers feel is daunting and hard to comprehend. I have created 23 separate online help systems from one TOC and with the use of just five condition tags in which each tag is based on a user role. Therefore, for each combination of user roles there will be an online help system. For example, if User A has two out of the four roles then they will only see the help content for those roles whereas User B might only have one role and they too will only see the help content for that role. I've not only used the condition tags for topics, but I've included them inside the topic. For example, I've embedded interactive tutorials and on the About Tutorials page I have a list of available tutorials. Rather than have an About page for each combination of user roles, I've used them within the content (i.e., an unordered listed within a paragraph tag). The trick with condition tags with the user of single-sourcing is that I've seen writers not understand the logic or the concept so they become frustrated. In other words, as long as the writer understands the logic then they can create many different types of documents from just one TOC.
