# profile.role

Target profile for `role` attribute

## Description

Value of this parameter specifies profiles which should be included in the output. You can specify multiple profiles by separating them by semicolon. You can change separator character by `profile.separator` parameter.

This parameter has effect only when you are using profiling stylesheets (`profile-docbook.xsl`, `profile-chunk.xsl`, …) instead of normal ones (`docbook.xsl`, `chunk.xsl`, …).

Note that `role` is often used for other purposes than profiling. For example it is commonly used to get emphasize in bold font:

    <emphasis role="bold">very important</emphasis>

If you are using `role` for these purposes do not forget to add values like `bold` to value of this parameter. If you forgot you will get document with small pieces missing which are very hard to track.

For this reason it is not recommended to use `role` attribute for profiling. You should rather use profiling specific attributes like `userlevel`, `os`, `arch`, `condition`, etc.
