27.6.3 Using special sections to insert code in extracts

You can assign HTML code (including macros) to the [HtmlStyles]ExtrStart format or ExtrStart marker (whichever you used to designate the start of the extract) to be invoked in the following sections:

[ExtrHead]
; starting format = HTML code for the head of the extract file
[ExtrTop]
; starting format = HTML code for the top of the extract body
[ExtrBottom]
; starting format = HTML code for the bottom of the extract body

These sections correspond to [Inserts] keywords ExtrHead, ExtrTop, and Extrbottom; and to PI marker types ExtrHead, ExtrTop, and Extrbottom; and are used for the same purposes. A marker type overrides a [Extr*] section of the same name, and an [Extr*] section overrides an [Inserts] keyword of the same name; see §27.6.1 Choosing how to insert code in extracts.

For examples, see §27.8.4 Specifying extracts: an example.
