Please do not add a separate make variable for that. We already have FORMATS, and setting profiling variables (profile.attribute and profile.value in XSLT) based on it should work. Also, we should consider/discuss what kind of difference we need actually and should allow between the two first. Basically I am against marking up everything with "online" or "print" because it just makes the source files complicated. I think it is useful only for separating lengthy preface, edition history, and pgpkey list from the body in book.xml. wb> Immediately merge the ISBN branch to head wb> wb> Start using profiling in the entire Handbook wb> wb> When ready to print the book: wb> wb> branch ISBN wb> wb> in the branch, make only the changes absolutely needed for print wb> that cannot be done with profiling wb> wb> print the book wb> wb> the ISBN branch becomes historical, no new changes are merged to wb> it I agree with the above plan. We should work on content changes on head. -- Hiroki
