After consulting:
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/limitations.html
I wanted to clarify/ask-for-guidance on the future availability of filtering
at the map/bookmap level. According to the DITA 1.1 spec, the correct way to
make a topic conditional is to apply the conditional attribute to the
topicref in the map file.
Additionally/related, while that description of limitations indicates that
it is possible to flag 'ph' elements, such conditionals are not processed
when they occur in the map/bookmap file itself (as sub-elements of the title
element, for example). We consider that a bug. Being able to conditionalize
a title is required so that the title will match the conditionalized
contents of the resulting document. Previous experiments we did led us to
believe this would work, but upon further investigation, that seems to have
been the result of the title coming out of the first dita file, where
conditional/filter processing is working.
Thanks for any insight, advice, workarounds, etc.
