Re: [docbook] "topic" reuse with profiles

I don't know of a way to do that with a single pass, but you could do it in 
two stages.  You could use the profiling/profile.xsl stylesheet three times 
with different profiling parameters set, and save the results into temp 
files.  Then use XInclude to assemble the unified help from the temp files, 
and process it with the non-profiling stylesheet.
