#### 6.4.5 Filtering out elements via format mapping

As an adjunct or alternative to ditaval filtering (see §9. Specifying conditional processing), you can exclude specific elements from output by mapping them to format property Delete. For example:

    [BlockFormatMaps]
    context/* = Delete
    stepresult/* = Delete
    info/* = Delete

    [InlineFormatMaps]
    draft-comment/* = Delete
