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

<para>Use the <tag class="xmlpi">dbchoice choice</tag> PI to

    <warning>
      
<para>This PI is a less-than-ideal hack; support for it may
        disappear in the future (particularly if and when a more
        appropriate means for marking up "choice" lists becomes
        available in DocBook).</para>
