27.4.2.2 Creating special paragraph
formats to delimit extracts
You can create special paragraph formats to mark the
boundaries of extracts, as follows:
- Invent two new paragraph formats;
for example, ExStart and ExEnd.
- Insert an element with outputclass=ExStart just
before material to be extracted.
- Insert an element with outputclass=ExEnd just after
material to be extracted.
- Make the ExStart and ExEnd paragraphs
conditional for on-line use, so they do not appear in your regular print
files.
- Assign the following properties
to these special paragraph formats:
[HTMLParaStyles]
ExStart=ExtrStart Delete
ExEnd=ExtrEnd Delete
The Delete property excludes
the ExStart and ExEnd paragraphs
from text in the HTML file. In effect, these special paragraphs serve
only as directives to DITA2Go. If you omit the ExEnd paragraph,
the extract ends at the next split point, or at the end of the file.
Note: For these settings to take
effect, you must enable extracts; see §27.4.1
Enabling and disabling extract processing.
