RE: [docbook] Clean way to insert a "pause" between blocks of paragraphs?

[Jeff Beal <jeff.beal@ansys.com>]

It's an abbreviation for "Processing Instruction".  It looks like this:

<?piname arbitrary text?>

Typically, these are used to provide special instructions to a particular
processor or in a particular processing mode.  Norm's Docbook XSL
stylesheets use, for example, a series of processing instructions labelled
<?dbhtml ...?> or <?dbfo ...?> depending on the output type.  In your case,
you could use a processing instruction like <?jjramsey pause?>.  Then, in an
XSL customization layer, write a template like:

<xsl:template
match="processing-instruction('jjramsey')[contains(.,'pause')]">
  <div class="pause"><img src="graphics/break.png"/></div>
</xsl:template>
