After writing 250 pages with constructions like :
<CONDITION>(A)
.
.
<CONDITION>(B)
.
.
<ENDCONDITION>
.
.
<ENDCONDITION>
I saw that my document didn't look as I expected it to be with the
various settings for the conditions A and B.
After an in depth look in the manual (V1.0) I discovered that you
cannot nest conditions.
Too bad.. so I wrote a little routine that recoded all previous
constructions into :
<CONDITION>(A)
.
.
<ENCONDITION>
<CONDITION>(A_B)
.
.
<ENDCONDITION>
<CONDITION>(A)
.
.
<ENDCONDITION>
A little bit cumbersome but never mind.
After doing some tests with <SETCONDITION>(A) etc. in the file itself,
I wanted to get rid of the fixed <SETCONDITION> statements and so
I tried several ways to pass more than one condition into the
DOC command , but I have not been able to figure out how to do that.
I tried for example :
DOC/COND=(A,A_B) .....
DOC/cond=A/cond=A_B
DOC/cond=(A)/cond=(A_B) etc.
Now my two concrete questions are :
1. Is it really not possible to nest conditions, and if not will
that be possible in the next version.?
2. Is it possible to set several conditions at the same time from
the DOC command line ?

You cannot nest conditions in V1. It's a wishlist item.

Another wishlist item.
You can set only one condition at the command line. You must
use <set_condition>s to get the second and ad infinitum conditions.
In BL8, <set_condition>(a,b,...) does not work (tho it did in
BL7. Should work ok in V1 (I haven't tried it yet).
