Using DITA for documenting a web-based application but forced to used mediawiki
hi (and apologies for the long text - it just did not work out shorter),
i work @ a company that creates web applications for government administrations (before that we delivered client-software). this software is used by a multitude of different stakeholders and therefore demands several types of documentation. our software is very feature-rich and highly configurable, our web interfaces are complex. so we need a flexible solution for a documentation that can easily be adjusted to fit different configurations.
Can't get action='flag' to work for conditional text
I'm new to DITA and have been trying to use conditional text in the DITA Open Toolkit. I can get the 'include' and 'exclude' actions to work with no issues. When I use the 'flag' action, the conditional text appears or disappears as desired, however, the 'flag' text does not appear. By 'flag' text, I mean the text that is supposed to be prepended to the conditional text.
I've searched and searched on the web and tried all possible variations of the 'prop' element with action='flag' but I just can't get it to work.

I have an automated script running ant, but the some operations I do , need to type the command, give the answers.
If I have something like this:
