How can I change the profile of a dashed stroke?
Here's a little swatch to show what I mean:

- On top is a copy of #2, with the Dashed Line option selected.
- In the middle is a simple horizontal line (stroke); just a straight, open path consisting of two aligned nodes and a tapered Profile.
- Below is a resized version of #2 with Weight reduced, repeated 13 times. It's supposed to be similar to #1, but with a tapered profile applied to each dash/segment of the stroke.
What I want to do is #3. It's easy enough to do it manually for a single straight line, but it gets difficult real fast when you start dealing with more complex objects, even relatively simple, well defined shapes like letters for instance:

I think it's not possible with a dashed stroke. Make a Pattern Brush instead:



Once the brush is applied, it's possible to change options from the Stroke Panel:

Fix the conflict corners editing the brush and changing the flip axis:

Or add a minim dash to the brush shape and change the dash alignment:

There's no conflicts in corners if you break the paths at the corners with the scissors tool. It's also useful to insert space in the brush options and allow stretching, if there's a long space.
