Conditional Build Tags Logic

Question

Hi All,
Working on RH X5 generating webhelp.
I need some logic help or some help on developing different
manuals for different users for the same system, will explain
below.
I have got one project which have contents for different
version i.e. from 6.2 to 6.4..and a new version is added every
month or when required...
Types of users:
1. A
2. B
3. C
At this stage am using Conditional tags to generate different
types of manuals for different types of users
I am having one project from which I generate different
manuals for different user types and versions.
Till now I only had 2 versions so was able to use the tags
and work around..
As we are having a new version things are not wroking, tags
are not working.
A topic can be for v6.2 to v6.4 and for User A B C
A topic can be for v6.2 to v6.3 and for User A B C
A topic can be for v6.3 to v6.4 and for User A B C
A topic can be for v6.2 to v6.4 and for User A B
A topic can be for v6.2 to v6.3 and for User A B
A topic can be for v6.3 to v6.4 and for User A B
A topic can be for v6.2 to v6.4 and for User A C
A topic can be for v6.2 to v6.3 and for User A C
A topic can be for v6.3 to v6.4 and for User A C
A topic can be for v6.2 to v6.4 and for User B C
A topic can be for v6.2 to v6.3 and for User B C
A topic can be for v6.3 to v6.4 and for User B C
A topic can be for a single type of User also.
The types or Users wont increases but the version would
increase..One time we decide not to generate any more help for
older version..but this old version contents is still required in
new version manuals..
Is there a way out?

Hi Chet and others,
Thx for the idea Chet, I kinda agree with your suggestion
above.
What I plan to do....
1. Manuals for different types users (2-3) - example tags -
u1, u2.
2. What am working on with tags is not only topic level but
also on content level e.g.
Topic Level || Content Level
Topic A: u1,v2, v3 ||
Topic B: u2,v1 ||
Topic C: ,v1, v2 ||u1, v1
Topic D: u1,u2v2,v3 || v3
So now with the above what I have to do is there is certain
information which only relates to a specific version and/or a type
of a user, what am planning to do is to create one more set of tags
which I can use as EXCULDE. So I would be having two sets of tags -
for INCLUDE and EXCULDE.
Set 1 - For INCLUDE
v1 to vX
u1 to uX
Set 2 - For EXCULDE
nv1 to nvX
nu1 to nuX
Then I would create SSL's with both similar defined sets as
above. INCLUDE a topic and EXCLUDE contents.
Hope this works, will try it out soon and let you all know
Thx for all your help
