Solution

The Attribute ARs contain the following child ARs covering the various Synthesis HDL attribute support.
 
(Xilinx Answer 54699) Design Assistant for Vivado Synthesis - Help with Synthesis HDL Attribute Support - dont_touch, full_case, gated_clock, shreg_extract.
(Xilinx Answer 53887) Design Assistant for Vivado Synthesis - Help with Synthesis HDL Attribute Support - black_box, io_buffer_type, clock_buffer_type, max_fanout.
(Xilinx Answer 54357) Design Assistant for Vivado Synthesis - Help with Synthesis HDL Attribute Support - parallel_case, translate_off/translate_on, use_dsp48
(Xilinx Answer 54778) Design Assistant for Vivado Synthesis - Help with Synthesis HDL Attribute Support - keep, keep_hierarchy, ram_style, rom_style
(Xilinx Answer 60799) Design Assistant for Vivado Synthesis - Help with Synthesis HDL Attribute Support - fsm_encoding, fsm_safe_state, srl_style

Note: Attribute success can be verified by the following methods:
 
  • Viewing the synthesized netlist using the "write_verilog", "write_vhdl" commands.
  • Opening the synthesized netlist design schematic viewer.
  • Using the "get_property" command on the TCL console as follows:

    get_property <PROPERTY_NAME> [get_<applicable_element> <element_instance_name>]>

    For example, get_property BLACK_BOX [get_cells my_inst]
