Learn how to implement conditional content by creating and applying condition tags to your content.

To implement conditional content in your project, you need to add condition tags and apply the tags to your content. After applying the tags, you can preview tagged content to check if the applied tags are working as expected.

Add a condition tag

Adobe RoboHelp provides two default condition tags—Online and Print. You can add new tags and group a bunch of related tags using the Group field in the Define Condition Tag dialog box. For example, you can group the Beginners, Intermediate, Experts, Developers, Administrators, and EndUsers tags under the Audience group. You can also choose background and text colors to differentiate the tags, and the content to which the tags are applied. 

To add a new tag, do the following:

  1. Click the Author tab at the left side of the Standard toolbar.

    The Author view opens.

  2. In the Author toolbar, click the Condition Tags icon. 

  3. In the Condition Tags panel, click the New Tag icon () in the upper-right corner.

  4. In the Define Condition Tag dialog box, do the following:

    1. Choose the group in which you want to create a tag, from the Group drop-down list. For example, to tag audience-specific content, choose the Audience group.

      Märkus.

      If you upgraded to Adobe RoboHelp 2019 from an earlier version, all your previous tags are grouped under the Others group in the Condition Tags panel. This is because the previous versions of Adobe RoboHelp did not contain the Group field. Adobe recommends that you organize your tags under appropriate groups. To do so, drag-and-drop tags from the Others group to the appropriate group in the Condition Tags panel.

      In the Condition Tags panel, groups (such as, Audience and Others) and tags (such as Developer and Adventure) under each group appear as shown in the image:

      An illustration of how the condition tags appear
      An illustration of how the condition tags appear

      Märkus.

      You can also add a new tag group, and rename and delete existing tag groups. Check out the steps in Manage tag groups.

    2. Specify the tag name in the Name field. 

    3. In the Identify with area, select the background and text colors.

      Background and text colors help differentiate multiple condition tags by highlighting the content chunks to which the tags are applied.

    4. Click Done.

      The group and the condition tag appear in the Condition Tags panel.

Edit a condition tag

  1. In the Condition Tags panel, expand the Group drop-down list. 

  2. Double-click the condition tag set you want to modify. Alternatively, right-click a condition tag and choose Edit ( ).

  3. In the Edit Condition Tag dialog box, modify the tag group, tag name, background, and text colors, as required.

  4. Click Done

Märkus.

All the references associated with the condition tag are updated to reflect the change, wherever applicable like Topic content, Condition Expressions, Dynamic Content Filters, and so on.

Delete a condition tag

  1. From the Condition Tags panel, right-click a condition tag and click Delete ().

  2. In the Confirm dialog box, click Yes to confirm the deletion. The condition tag is deleted.

Select multiple condition tags

  1. From the Condition Tags panel, right-click a condition tag and click Select Multiple.

  2. Click on all the condition tags you want to select.

  3. Right-click the condition tags and click Delete ().

Märkus.

If the tags are renamed or deleted, their references are immediately reflected in the document content, wherever applicable like Topic content, Condition Expressions, Dynamic Content Filters, and so on.

Manage tag groups

You can add a tag group to the list of default tag groups. You can also rename and delete existing tag groups.

  1. Choose File > Project Settings or press Ctrl+Shift+/.

    The Project Settings dialog box opens. 

  2. To manage tag groups, use the Tag Groups tab in the Project Settings dialog box. For more information, see Tag Groups.

  3. Click Done to save the changes.

All renamed or deleted condition tag occurrences are applied automatically to the topics.
