In principle, conditional processing is supported by the DocBook XSL 
stylesheets only for the following standard attributes: arch, audience, 
condition, ..., vendor, wordsize. See 
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Profiling.html

However it seems that there is a (advanced?) way to use any other 
attribute for that. See “Custom profiling attribute” in 
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomProfilingAttr.html

Personally, I never used a custom profiling attribute so it will be 
difficult for me to help.



--> IMPORTANT: You must have selected the DocBook profiling XSL 
stylesheets rather than the default, non-profiling, ones for conditional 
processing (AKA profiling) attributes to work. This is done once for 
all. See attached screenshot.

How to do this is explained in note "Using the profiling stylesheets":
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/docbook/docbook_menu.html#docbook_convert_menu



Therefore, please explain HOW you are trying to use attribute Entity_x 
for conditional processing. I mean:

- Do you use our "Easy Profiling" add-on for that? 
(http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/profiling/index.html) In 
such case, please send us privately your ".profiles" file.

- Do you just want to perform conditional processing using attribute 
Entity_x when converting your DocBook document to other formats (HTML, 
PDF, DOCX, etc). In such case, please explain where and how you put 
attribute Entity_x to use.
