Assigning Build Tags

A build tag tells the help compiler whether to include a topic in the help file when the compiler processes the help topic files. Build tags are used to create multiple versions of a help file from a single help topic file. By default, if a topic is not assigned a build tag, it is automatically included in each build. Build tags are optional.

A build tag footnote may contain any character except a space. One space separates the control code (*) and the build tag footnote text:

* WINDOWS 

If you want to assign multiple build tags to a help topic, you must separate them with a semicolon (;), as shown below:

* sample_build; build_3; build_final 

NOTE: You also must define the build tag for a build in the help project file. (See the “[BUILDTAGS] Section” section in Completing Help Systems.")
