Examples of conditional processing

This section is non-normative.

This section provides examples that illustrate the ways that conditional processing attributes can be set and used.

Example: Setting conditional processing values
In this scenario, conditional processing attributes are set in DITA content.
Example: Simple DITAVAL document
In this scenario, a simple DITAVAL document sets up rules for filtering and flagging based on conditional processing attributes.
Example: Changing the default behavior to "exclude"
In this scenario, a simple DITAVAL document resets the default behavior for unspecified values to "exclude".
Example: Flagging with outputclass
In this scenario, the @outputclass attribute in a DITAVAL document is used to enable CSS based flagging.
Example: Filtering based on groups
In this scenario, groups are used for filtering within a conditional processing attribute.
Example: Filtering and flagging topic content
In this scenario, a publisher wants to flag information that applies to administrators and exclude information that applies to the extended product.
Example: Simple DITAVAL document
A DITAVAL document can reference tokens that pull in additional topics from a subject scheme.
Example: DITAVAL with conditions for groups
In this advanced scenario, grouped values are used for filtewring within a conditional processing attribute.
