<para>This is generated reference documentation for all
      user-specifiable processing instructions (PIs) in the DocBook
      XSL stylesheets for HTML output.
      <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>

<refsect1><title>Description</title>
    
<para>When chunking output, use the <tag class="xmlpi">dbhtml dir</tag> PI
      as a child of a chunk source to cause the output of that
      chunk to be written to the specified directory; also, use it
      as a child of a <tag>mediaobject</tag> to specify a
      directory into which any long-description files for that
      <tag>mediaobject</tag> will be written.</para>



<para>The output directory specification is inherited by all
chunks of the descendants of the element.  If descendants need
to go to a different directory, then add another 
<tag class="xmlpi">dbhtml dir</tag> processing
instruction as a child of the source element
for that chunk, and specify the path relative to the
ancestor path.</para>



<para>For example, to put most chunk files into 
<filename class="directory">shared</filename>
but one chapter into 
<filename class="directory">exception</filename>
at the same level, use:</para>


<programlisting>&lt;book&gt;
  &lt;?dbhtml dir="shared"?&gt;
  ...
  &lt;chapter&gt;
    &lt;?dbhtml dir="../exception"?&gt;
