38.1.1 Understanding DITA2Go PI marker syntax

In DITA2Go a DITA processing instruction is called a PI marker. A PI marker has the form:

<?dtxxx markertype="markervalue" markertype2="markervalue2" ... ?>

where: 

xxx

designates the output type

markertype

names the type of instruction or value

markervalue

is the actual instruction or value.

You can include multiple key="value" pseudo-attributes or tokens in the same PI marker, separated by spaces. For example:

<?dthtm GraphWidth="80" GraphHeight="100" ?>

This PI syntax is supported by all XML editors, and is easily extended to specify any instruction.

DITA2Go PI markers include the following output types: 

dthtm

all HTML/XML outputs

dtrtf

Word output

dtpdf

print outputs, including such as DocBook dbfo

dtall

all outputs
