You wrote as first item in "Other limitations and specificities" contains: (http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/limitations.html#limitations)
"The inheritance of metadata (e.g. author) and attributes (e.g. audience) between maps and topics is almost certainly not conforming. (The reason for this limitation is that the implementors of ditac didn't really understand the specification of this feature.) " The inheritance maybe used for translation: 1. define otherprops="en" attribute in topic prolog element This must be processed as all topic content has otherprops attribute equals "en" (as described in OASIS DITA v1.1 Architectural Spec "Conditional processing attributes" page 42) 2. define otherprops="other lang code" attribute for translated topics elements 3. create ditaval-file with: <prop action="exclude" val="en"> 4. convert document (to PDF, for example) This is unusual approach, and If you advice me how I can authoring content in two language in a topic file and then filter only one (original and translation) for document conversion. I try filter by "xml:lang" attribute :-) but it's not work :-), unfortunately it's not a processing attribute. Best Regards, Nikolay Rastegaev
