# manpages Processing Instruction Reference

## Introduction

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

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).

dbman_funcsynopsis-style
