Guidelines for Applying Profiles
Following are guidelines for applying individual profiles:
• Any element that applies to all possible readers should not be profiled.
• When applying more than one profile within a given profile class to an element, include all profiles that apply. When multiple profiles in a class are applied to an element, the contents of that element will be published if any of the profile values is set.
Applying all profiles in a class to an element has the same effect as applying no profiles to the element. Applying all profiles to an element means that element would apply to all possible readers.
• If you apply profiles to a parent element (for example, an entire chapter), all child elements within that chapter inherit the profile information from the chapter. You can apply more restrictive profiling to individual child elements.
• If you select a region of text within an element and apply a profile, the profiling is applied to the entire element, not just the highlighted content.
Selecting a text region to apply profiling attributes deletes profile attributes that are applied to elements contained within the parent element.
• To view applied profile values, view your document in the Document Map or with full tags on. Applied profiling values appear as values of element attributes.
