Hmm, for multiple parameters, I'm not sure what the right answer would be--I don't remember if Arbortext Editor allows this case or handles it or if so how. I'd think you'd have to choose one color or have a generic "multiple conditions apply" indicator of some sort. I see the problem re automatic detection. No obvious good solution comes to mind unless there is a new configuration option "authoritative set of DITA vocabulary modules" by which a developer can indicate where Oxygen should look for stuff. That's certainly how I use Oxygen's default Toolkit installation but I don't know that I'm typical or even usefully representative. Cheers, E.

Hi Eliot,
Thanks for the feedback.
We already have plans to enhance the current profiling conditions feature by providing foreground and background colors for different profile values (hopefully in Oxygen 12.1). Do you have any advice for when an element has multiple profile values? Merge the colors probably? For now, Oxygen 12 will only have the "Show Profiling Attributes" action which shows a border around elements which have profiling attributes and also renders the profiling attributes and their values.
About automatically detecting profiling attribute names from the DITA DTD's: For now the attributes which are considered as profiling attributes in the "Editor / Pages / Author / Profiling/Conditional Text" preferences page are all hard-coded. So either each user edits the values and adds his specialization attributes or an administrator does that, then passes the entire page to the Project level and shares it with everybody else.
Our original intent for DITA was auto-detection, given a set of DTD's/XML Schemas, this is not hard to do, but we encountered several issues: What is the set of DTD's/XML Schemas to perform the auto-detection upon? The user may be using a different DITA Open Toolkit installation. Maybe perform the auto-detection on the opened DITA Maps but then all these detected attribute names (and values, which most of the times are not specified) needed to be customized by the user anyway so I think editing the Oxygen Preferences was unavoidable. If you have enhancement ideas about this, they are welcomed.
So for Oxygen 12 we preferred to propose some default attribute names and values (for DITA, Docbook) and leave each user configure his own attributes.

Looks good.
Tried out the new profiling support. Nice.
One feature I didn't see was a way to associate specific colors with specific conditions.
That is, I'd like to be able to associate specific conditions with specific foreground or background colors, so for example I can make one audience blue and a different one green in the editor.
Also, it wasn't clear how or if Oxygen was aware of @props specializations currently available. In my test I was editing a document that uses a shell that integrates a @props specialization (the new d4p_renditionTarget attribute I just added to the D4P vocabulary).
I sort of expected to get a list of all declared @props specializations, at least those available for the document I had open.
I was able to add the attribute by simply manually typing its name and then it configured just fine.
Cheers,
E.
