Subject: RE: [docbook] Clean way to insert a "pause" between blocks of paragraphs?
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> -----Original Message----- From: James J.
