Conditional Processing to Generate Multiple Deliverables
By default, the content of most elements is included in all output media. Within maps and topics, elements can specify the delivery targets to which they apply.
Within maps, topic references can use the @deliveryTarget attribute to
indicate the delivery targets to which they apply. Within topics, most elements can use
the @deliveryTarget attribute to indicate the delivery targets.
If a referenced topic should be excluded from all output formats, set the
@processing-role attribute to resource-only instead of using the
@deliveryTarget attribute. Content within that topic can still be
referenced for display in other locations.
@deliveryTarget- The intended delivery target of the content, for example html, pdf,
or epub. This attribute is a replacement for the now deprecated
@printattribute.The
@deliveryTargetattribute is specialized from the@propsattribute. It is defined in the deliveryTargetAttDomain, which is integrated into all OASIS-provided document-type shells. If this domain is not integrated into a given document-type shell, the@deliveryTargetattribute will not be available.
The @deliveryTarget attribute is processed the same way as any other
conditional processing attribute. For example, <topicref deliveryTarget="html5
epub" href="example.dita"/> uses two values for
@deliveryTarget. A conditional processing profile can then set rules
for @deliveryTarget that determine whether the topic is included or
excluded when the map is rendered as HTML5 or EPUB.
