I have a requirement to have 'optional' columns in tables.
I thought that it was possible to filter a complete column in a simpletable, by
setting @audience on every Nth (typically last) stentry in a strow.
Something like this:
-----------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN"
"topic.dtd">
<topic id="simple">
<title>Simple Table</title>
<body>
<p>try this</p>
<simpletable>
<sthead>
<stentry>Name</stentry>
<stentry>Comment</stentry>
<stentry audience="internal">Technical</stentry>
</sthead>
<strow>
<stentry>Foo</stentry>
<stentry>yellow</stentry>
<stentry audience="internal">E = Mc squared</stentry>
</strow>
<strow>
<stentry>Bar</stentry>
<stentry>green</stentry>
<stentry audience="internal">19 + 41 = 60</stentry>
</strow>
</simpletable>
</body>
</topic>
--------------------------------------------
The entries do indeed get filtered, but a 'ghost' column, with no entries,
remains.
My understanding is that filtering is done right at the start of the conversion
process - so that the above would be turned into a two-entries-per-row table
before any transforms were applied (and therefore before any customizations).
Any clarification would be most welcome!
