You can specify HTML tags to be used for character formats; for example:
[CharStyles] ; Document character format name = HTML starting element name(s) ; use strong, em, code, cite, var, or blink, or span for HTML elements Emphasis=strong ProgramListing=code
Although the format properties listed here are the only valid HTML styles, DITA2Go lets you specify any tag, to permit XML markup and CSS span class assignments. However, only valid HTML tags have an effect in DITA2Go HTML output.
For XHTML, all format names must be lowercase.
To add attributes to a character tag, list them after the tag. For example:
[CharStyles] Bold = strong type="bold"
Everything after the first space is removed for the end tag. To apply an attribute to an individual instance of a character format, insert an attribute PI marker in the inline element; see §38.3 Adding attributes with PI markers. For this example, you would use a PI marker of type CharType with content bold (no quotation marks).
If no tags are specified in [CharStyles] for a particular character format, by default that format gets a span class; see §31.7.3 Mapping character formats to tags or span classes.
To eliminate style tags entirely, map the character format to nothing:
[CharStyles] CharFmt =
