Does anyone know of a help development tool that provides a
conditional
text feature like FrameMaker's?


You could use FrameMaker to create your source using its conditional
text feature, then use a decent rtf filter (like Omni System's
Mif-to-RTF filter) to generate your two (or more) rtfs and compile with
HCW. It's not as convenient as using a HAT, but you get the conditional
text option.

I've heard HDK has some pretty cool features. Anyone know if it supports
some kind of conditional text option?
