RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Using profile.xsl to filter conditionalized documents

[David Cramer <david_cramer@broadjump.com>]

Denis,
Something like this (untested)?

  <xsl:variable name="os.ok" select="
	  not(@os) or 
	  not($os) or
	  contains(concat($sep, @os, $sep),
	  concat($sep, $os, $sep)) or

	  (contains(concat($sep, @os, $sep),
	   concat($sep, 'mac', $sep))  or 
	   contains(concat($sep, @os, $sep),
	   concat($sep, 'unix', $sep)) and
	  $os = 'MacOrUnix')           or

	  @os = ''"/>

Just keep adding ors and ands until you've taken care of every
combination ;-)

David

This didn't work for me - result still omits both Windows and UNIX
content.
I'm working with arch, not os, but should be the same.

Is this just a limitation on the command line? What if I could
anticipate
combinations, and 'hardwired' them with parameters like "WindowsUNIXMAC"
 in myprofile.xsl. Could I then customize the <xsl:template match="*">
template to generate Windows, UNIX, and MAC conditions in the same
result?

Sorry if this is a dumb question: that profiling template is such a
mystery
to me, I thought somebody who actually understands how it works might be
able to say if my idea is worth pursuing.

Thanks,
Denis
