[oXygen-user] DITA: @audience with two diffent values in one map

[Radu Coravu]

Dear Theun,

Usually profiling attributes are used for filtering content.

What I see in your case is that you want the same topic to be included 
twice in the DITA Map.
So in your case you must not set the "audience" to each topic reference 
in the DITA Map.
But inside the topic content you can (and probably did) set the 
"audience" attribute with the right values to those certain sub steps.

After this you have to create one DITAVAL filter file for the "expert" 
audience (which filters "novice") like:

> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <val>
>   <prop action="exclude" att="audience" val="novice"/>
> </val>

and one DITAVAL filter file for the "novice" audience which filters 
"expert".

Oxygen has functionality in which it can automatically create the 
DITAVAL filters if you define profiling condition sets in the "Editor / 
Edit modes / Author / Profiling/Conditional Text" Preferences page.
This video demonstration covers it:

This forum post covers profiling conditions in greater details and might 
be useful to you:
