Hi! I have the scenario where I have documents that are generated with different conditions depending on an expanding set of (currently) 6 parameters.

Hi! I've got madbuild running to generate builds of a MadCap Flare Target into PDF/Word. :D Is it possible to build a MadCap target with madbuild and not generate the MadCap log file ? :?: I tried using the -log true and -log false options with madbuild , but this appeared to make no difference at a...
