Processing Formal Markup

When you process formal markup using dthelptag, you must use the -formal command-line option. For example, to process a formal markup file named Icons.ctg in verbose mode, enter this command:

dthelptag -verbose -formal Icons.ctg

Note -

The command option specifies the type of markup in the input file. The runtime file created by running dthelptag is always volume.sdl. The online format is identical whether you used shorthand or formal markup.
