15.4.8 Including PIs for line, column, or page breaks

To force a line break, column break, or a page break when non-preformatted text in DITA is rendered, you can use a Code marker or a macro to insert one (or more) of the following processing instructions in FrameMaker at the desired break point: 

<?dthtm Break="line" ?>	HTML line break
<?dtrtf Break="line" ?>	RTF line break
<?dtrtf Break="column" ?>	RTF column break
<?dtrtf Break="page" ?>	RTF page break

For example, to force an HTML-only line break at a point where you have a forced return (Shift+Enter) in FrameMaker, immediately after the forced return insert a Code marker with the following content:

<?dthtm Break="line" ?>

To include a processing instruction for every forced return in a given paragraph format, you can define a macro to find the forced returns and insert the processing instructions; see §28.6 Using expressions in macros.
