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.
