24.11 Overriding DITA settings with markers

You might need to insert markers to override configuration settings for particular DITA topics and elements. DITA2Go provides numerous predefined marker types for this purpose, listed in Table 24-2. Most of these marker types are intended to provide ways to cope with unusual situations.
