30.6.1 Deciding whether to suppress
typographic elements
You might want to suppress some or all typographic
elements for either of the following reasons:
- To ensure that output is free
of direct formatting, because:
- you are producing XML output,
or
- your output uses CSS.
- To make overrides show up in
the output, so you can insert semantic tags or subsequently provide better
formatting.
For XML output, including DITA XML and DocBook XML,
the default is to suppress all typographic elements.
