Production notes (accessing)

One of the Ant scripts for the garage sample uses filtering to exclude topics having to do with oil and snow. Here is the section of the script that references the ditaval file:

<!-- Specify the file to be used for filtering. -->
<property name="dita.input.valfile" value="${projdir}/ditaval_files/garage_filtering.ditaval"/>
		

Here is the map file that uses the <otherprops> element to identify topics having to do with oil and snow:

<map title="Garage (hierarchy)">
<topicref href="concepts/garagetasks.dita" format="dita">
<topicref href="tasks/changingtheoil.dita" otherprops="oil" format="dita"/>
<topicref href="tasks/organizing.dita" format="dita"/>
<topicref href="tasks/shovellingsnow.dita" otherprops="snow" format="dita"/>

<topicref href="concepts/workbench.dita" format="dita"/>
<topicref href="concepts/wwfluid.dita" format="dita"/>
</topicref>
</map>
		

Here is the ditaval file, referenced in the Ant script, that excludes topics tagged as having to do with oil or snow:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Filters out topics about "oil" and "snow" from the garage sample. -->
<val>
<prop att="otherprops" val="oil" action="exclude"></prop>
<prop att="otherprops" val="snow" action="exclude"></prop>
</val>
