Product Profiling
You can use the product attribute to make content reusable
and to publish customized deliverables.
Use Cases
Consider profiling your content with the product attribute in the following scenarios:
- You want to maintain a single set of documentation for multiple products that are similar
- You want to keep specifications for different products in one topic
Product Profiling Example
You include or exclude profiled content by applying a DITAVAL during publication.
Remember:
By default, all content is included in published deliverables, unless you have applied conditional processing (profiling).
This example shows a reference topic that contains specifications for “productA” and “productB”. The values of “Specification C” are different for “productA” (“ValueA”) and “productB” (“ValueB”).
This example shows a task topic specific to “productA”.
This example shows a DITAVAL that excludes “productB”-related content and includes “productA”-related content.
