Description

If the value of refentry.date.profile.enabled is non-zero, then during refentry metadata gathering, the info profile specified by the customizable refentry.date.profile parameter is used.

If instead the value of refentry.date.profile.enabled is zero (the default), then "hard coded" logic within the DocBook XSL stylesheets is used for gathering refentry "date" data.

If you find that the default refentry metadata-gathering behavior is causing incorrect "date" data to show up in your output, then consider setting a non-zero value for refentry.date.profile.enabled and adjusting the value of refentry.date.profile to cause correct data to be gathered.

Note that the terms "source" and "date" have special meanings in this context. For details, see the documentation for the refentry.date.profile parameter.
