You may want to include some kind of HTML or Javascript in your output that would not be generated as normal output. For this example we are going to use a passthrough attribtue on a paragraph tag in DITA. This will create a Passthrough paragraph style that you would switch to Passthrough in the paragraph options tab in ePublisher.

Below is an example of a Javascript alert in HTML using the CDATA attribute

<p outputclass="Passthrough">

<![CDATA[

<div><a href="alert('Yahoo!'">Click Me!</a></div>

]]>

</p>

Once you have entered in the paragraph that contains the passthrough attirbute, re-scan the documennt and make sure that this passthrough paragraph has the “Passthrough” option enabled so that the HTML will not be processed.

Depending on the output, for example, browser-based (Dynamic HTML or WebWorks Help 5.0) versus PDF output, you may want to use ditaval filtering to ensure that only the web-based output is getting output. For this instance, you would want to have the following DITA markup

<p outputclass="Passthrough" audience="web">

<![CDATA[

<div><a href="alert('Yahoo!'">Click Me!</a></div>

]]>

</p>

For the PDF output, for example you would want to have the Target override:

and the default.ditval information:

<val>

  <prop att="audience" val="web" action="exclude" />

</val>

For the Dynamic HTML output you would want to have the Target override:

and the default.ditval information:

<val>

  <prop att="audience" val="web" action="include" />

</val>
