Filter Elements

In this section, you can learn how to apply filters to block elements, such as paragraphs, lists, and images. These filters apply to an entire block of content. If you want to filter inline content, such as one sentence or one word in a paragraph, see Filter Inline Elements.

Filtering block elements is useful when you have entire elements that you want to include or exclude, depending on certain criteria. For example, you could have a paragraph that is only relevant to Mac users, so you could add a filter to include or exclude it, depending on whether the publication is for Windows or Mac.

Note

To apply filters to elements in a topic, use the "regular" type of filtering (you cannot use taxonomy filters for filtering elements in a topic).

To filter elements in a topic:

  1. Mark Up Elements for Filtering. For filtering elements in a topic, use the "regular" type of filtering. You cannot use taxonomy filters for filtering elements in a topic.

  2. Apply Preview Filters to see how the filters will affect your content (this is an optional step).
