2.5.6 Excluding files from a book conversion
To exclude chapter files from a book conversion, create a new FrameMaker book that does not include those files, and convert the new book.
To exclude FrameMaker-generated files, do one of the following:
• Uncheck the appropriate options at set-up time; see §3.4.4 Including FrameMaker-generated files.
• Use a configuration setting; see §4.8 Converting FrameMaker-generated files.
We suggest you exclude conditionalized-out chapters entirely, instead of trying to hide them with conversion settings, for the following reasons:
• If temporary files from a previous conversion in which the text was not conditionalized out are still present in the project folder, those files will be included when the output is assembled, possibly producing unwanted results such as TOC entries for the missing chapter. Since the chapter does not produce any output, the old temporary files are not overwritten.
• Processing an essentially empty file wastes time.
