You can specify multiple profiles by separating them by semicolon. You can change separator character by <parameter>profile.separator</parameter> parameter.</para> <para>This parameter has effect only when you are using profiling stylesheets (<filename>profile-docbook.xsl</filename>, <filename>profile-chunk.xsl</filename>, …) instead of normal ones (<filename>docbook.xsl</filename>, <filename>chunk.xsl</filename>, …).</para> <warning> <para>Note that <tag class="attribute">role</tag> is often used for other purposes than profiling. For example it is commonly used to get emphasize in bold font:</para> <programlisting><emphasis role="bold">very important</emphasis></programlisting> <para>If you are using <tag class="attribute">role</tag> for these purposes do not forget to add values like <literal>bold</literal> to value of this parameter. If you forgot you will get document with small pieces missing which are very hard to track.</para> <para>For this reason it is not recommended to use <tag class="attribute">role</tag> attribute for profiling. You should rather use profiling specific attributes like <tag class="attribute">userlevel</tag>, <tag class="attribute">os</tag>, <tag class="attribute">arch</tag>, <tag class="attribute">condition</tag>, etc.</para> </warning> </refsection> </refentry>
