- | Conditional processing, also known as profiling, is the filtering or flagging of information based on processing-time criteria. The filtering mechanism first matches against the criteria, and then takes a specified action.

| + | |
- | DITA provides several built-in attributes to hold the values for filter criteria for an element. These are:
| + | |
- | </p>
| + | |
- | <ul>
| + | |
- | <li>audience </li>
| + | |
- | <li>platform </li>
| + | |
- | <li>product </li>
| + | |
- | <li>otherprops </li>
| + | |
- | <li>rev (for flagging only) </li>
| + | |
- | </ul>
| + | |
- | <p>
| + | |
- | It is possible, for example, to specify the platform or audience that a particular paragraph applies to. The values of these attributes can then be leveraged by any number of processes, including filtering, flagging, search, and indexing.

- | There is a proposal for DITA 1.1 that will enable specializers to define their own metadata attributes for use in conditionally processing content.
