14.14 Overriding DITA settings with markers

You might need to insert markers to override configuration settings for particular DITA topics and elements. Mif2Go provides numerous predefined marker types for this purpose, listed in Table 14-3. Most of these marker types are intended to provide ways to cope with unusual situations. If you have a consistent template, and use normal FrameMaker cross references and hypertext links, for the most part you can get by with just configuration settings.
