11 <para>This is generated reference documentation for all
12 user-specifiable processing instructions (PIs) in the DocBook
13 XSL stylesheets for HTML output.
16 <para>You add these PIs at particular points in a document to
17 cause specific “exceptions” to formatting/output behavior. To
18 make global changes in formatting/output behavior across an
19 entire document, it’s better to do it by setting an
20 appropriate stylesheet parameter (if there is one).</para>
