Re: [docbook-apps] Adding more profiling attributes

[Scott Hudson <scott.hudson@flatironssolutions.com>]

Hi Dean,

Absolutely! I typically create custom profiling attributes for each of 
my clients because of their specific needs. You just have to add them to 
your customization layer, and redefine the db effectivity attributes to 
call in your customization.

In DB5, it would look something like this:
   my.effectivity =
   attribute customprofile { text }

  db.effectivity.attributes |=
   db.audience.attribute?
   & db.condition.attribute?
   & db.conformance.attribute?
   & db.revision.attribute?
   & db.security.attribute?
   & db.userlevel.attribute?
   & my.effectivity?

You'll also need to adjust your stylesheet customization layer to 
process the new attribute. See 
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomProfilingAttr.html

Best regards,
