## 5.4 Applying FrameMaker conditions and variables

To produce multiple outputs from a single FrameMaker source, you might need several different combinations of FrameMaker variables and condition Show/Hide settings. Usually, we advise establishing those combinations in FrameMaker conversion templates, one for each output type; see §30.7 Applying FrameMaker conversion templates.

However, if you need so many FrameMaker templates that maintenance of common formats across all variations would be difficult, you can specify values for FrameMaker user variables and condition Show/Hide settings in your Mif2Go project configuration file instead.

It is best not to use these settings to condition out entire chapters of a book; instead, create a separate FrameMaker book that does not include the unwanted chapters. See §5.1.2 Excluding files from book conversions.
