Doug,
You are quite welcome. I think you will find that the boolean
expressions are much easier to manage than the large number of tags that
would be needed to use Show and Hide.

Lynne,
I just now tried out your suggestion using the original version of my
chapter. The results were just as you predicted, everything displayed as I
had hoped. The "40" and not("PDF") did the trick; it is the kind of
expression I originally had in mind though the wording hadn't occurred to
me

That worked as I had hoped, I even was able to use the Show As Per
Condition section instead of the Show As Per Expression section.
Doug,
Yes, you can define
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 pub
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:
"40"+"4
Thanks Lin, I'll give it a shot.

Err, by repeat for each book, I mean duplicate the expressions but editing
them appropriately. So Book 40, which is your special one, uses almost the
identical expression:
Book 44, PDF: not (40 or 41 or 42 or HTML) and not (44 and HTML)
Book 44, HTML: not (40 or 41 or 42 or PDF) and not (44 and PD
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

Nevermind. I misread.

If the chapter isn't needed in the book, then exclude the chapter from the
book. No conditional tagging needed.

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),
