Multiple profiling attributes can be aggregated into a profiling condition set that allows
you to apply more complex filters on the document content. A Profiling Condition
Set is a very powerful and convenient tool that can be used to preview the content
that goes into the published output. For example, an installation manual available in both
Windows and Linux variants can be profiled to highlight only the Linux procedures for more
advanced users.

Preferences dialog box and go to .
