Expected behavior when no conditions are specified for a publication

Kendall Shaw

Hi,

There is a publication that includes a topic that has an element with conditional text. I'm told that the element with the conditional text used to be excluded when no conditions were specified on the publication.

For example, there is a topic with markup:

<p ishcondition="this=that">Conditional text</p>

The publication specifies no conditions. What they expect is that that paragraph will be excluded.

After a recent style changes, the element is no longer being excluded. I've experimented and sometimes this happens and other times it doesn't happen and I haven't found the pattern.

When it happens, DITA-OT filters out the element prior to styles being applied (during topic merge). When it doesn't happen, DITA-OT doesn't filter out the element, prior to styles being applied.

What is the expected behavior when no conditions are set on the publication?

Kendall

  • Hi Kendall,

    Not sure what version of the software you are using. In the Web Client, locate the publication, view the properties at the "version" level. At the bottom of the properties, there's a Publishing Context area. What you have selected there can affect the conditions behavior in the published output.
