This section is non-normative.

DITA is a standard that supports the creation of human-readable content. Accordingly, DITA defines fundamental document components. Since there is a reasonable expectation that such document components be rendered consistently, we suggest the following formatting conventions.

Table 1. Formatting expectations for DITA elements

Element	Suggested formatting

<dlhead>	See <dl>.
