Profiling / Conditional Text Preferences

Oxygen XML Editor lets you configure how profiling and conditional text is shown in Author view. It has built in support for the standard conditional text features of DITA and DocBook, which you can customize for your own projects. You can also add conditional support for other XML vocabularies, including your custom vocabularies.

To configure Profiling/Conditional Text options, open the Preferences dialog box and go to Editor > Edit modes > Author > Profiling/Conditional Text.

Note: Please note the following when configuring this setting:
  • This setting is used to define how profiled elements are treated in Author view. It does not create profiling or conditional text attributes or values in the underlying XML vocabulary. It just changes how the editor displays them.
  • This setting should be used for profiling / conditional text elements only. To change how other types of attributes are displayed in the text, use a CSS style sheet.
  • If you are using the DITA XML vocabulary and a DITA Subject Scheme Map is defined in the root map of your document, it will be used in place of anything defined using this dialog.
This preferences page contains two items: If you have two or more identically named entries that match the same document type, Oxygen XML Editor uses the one that is positioned highest in the table. Use the Up / Down buttons to change the priority of the entries.

The Import from DITAVAL button allows you to import profiling attributes from .ditaval files. You can merge these new profiling attributes with the existing ones, or replace them completely. If the imported attributes conflict with the existing ones, Oxygen XML Editor displays a dialog box containing two tables: the first one previews the imported attributes and the second one previews the already defined attributes. You can choose either to keep the existing attributes or replace them with the imported ones.

Note: When importing profiling attributes from DITAVAL files, Oxygen XML Editor automatically creates condition sets based on these files.
