How to Profile DITA Content

  1. Go to Preferences > Editor > Edit modes > Author > Profiling / Conditional Text page and edit the Profiling Attributes table.
  2. For DITA there are already default entries for audience, platform, product and otherprops. You can customize the attributes and their values. This is a one-time operation. Once you save the customized attributes and values, you can use them to profile any DITA project.
  3. To use the profiling attributes set in the previous step, do one of the following:
    1. Right-click (Ctrl + click on MacOS) a topic reference in DITA Maps Manager and choose Edit Profiling Attributes from the contextual menu.
    2. In the Author editing mode, right-click (Ctrl + click on MacOS) an XML element and choose Edit Profiling Attributes from the contextual menu.
    3. Use the Attributes view to set profiling attributes.
    Turn on the Show Profiling Attributes option to display the profiling markup in the Author editing mode.
