Profiling DITA Content

Open the Preferences dialog box, go to Editor > Edit modes > Author > Profiling / Conditional Text, and edit the Profiling Attributes table.

Note that this table will be ignored if a Subject Scheme Map is in use.

For DITA documents, there are already default entries for audience, platform, product, otherprops and rev. 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.

You can use the profiling attributes set in the previous step with one of the following methods:

To profile DITA topics, right-click a topic reference in the DITA Maps Manager, select Edit Properties from the contextual menu, and go to the Profiling tab.
To profile DITA content in Author mode, highlight the content and select Edit Profiling Attributes from the contextual menu.
To profile specific XML elements in Author mode, right-click inside the element and select Edit Profiling Attributes or use the Attributes view to set the profiling attributes on the element at the current cursor position.

Enable the Show Profiling Attributes option to display the profiling markup in the Author editing mode.
