#### 9.1.2 Including wildcards in ditaval statements

You can use wildcards ? and * in attribute @val settings in <prop>. For example:

    <prop att="platform" val="win*" action="exclude" />

to exclude elephants where platform="win2k winxp win7" in one statement instead of three. This ensures that when someone adds win8 later, that too will be excluded.
