Thanks for your reply. I'll give it a look at see if I can make it work for 
us.

While this is true, we have a requirement that if JS is required and the
user doesn't have it enabled, then there's either a fallback or (at
minimum) a notification that the page requires JavaScript. A lot of
"mobile-first" web development techniques usually provide a nice way to
degrade when scripts aren't available (such as a no-js attribute on the
body tag that a script removes, allowing stylesheets to act differently if
needed), so I don't think it's that uncommon.

Or maybe it's still uncommon, but shouldn't be :)

No, this feature is not supported[*]. (Otherwise this feature would have 
been documented.)

Please remember that Web Help is generated using XMLmind Web Help 
Compiler, an open source software component. I'm saying this because 
this is what you need to modify, not ditac (XMLmind DITA Converter) itself.

See XMLmind Web Help Compiler,
