Conditional Processing Overview
Conditional processing, also known as profiling, enables you to publish personalized deliverables for specific audiences. You develop conditional content by applying conditional processing attributes to topic and map elements. During publication, you apply DITAVAL filtering.
By default, all content is included in published deliverables, unless you have applied conditional processing (profiling).
In this example, “Topic C” has the
@audience="internal"
attribute because it contains internal-only content. At publish, a DITAVAL excludes internal content from the
deliverable. In consequence, the deliverable does not contain “Topic
C”.
In this example, “Element B” uses the
@platform="windows" attribute because it contains
Windows®-specific content. “Element C” uses the
@platform="macos" attribute because it contains macOS®-specific
content. At publish, a DITAVAL includes
Windows®-specific
content and excludes macOS®-specific content from the
deliverable. In consequence, the deliverable does not contain “Element
C”.
