<para>
The output directory can be set in two ways. An individual document
can specify <literal>output-dir="directory"</literal> in the dbhtml PI, or the stylesheet
can specify the <literal>%output-dir%</literal>. If both are specified, the PI value
will be used.
</para>
<para>
Note: the output directory is ignored if <literal>use-output-dir</literal> is not <literal>#t</literal>.
(This allows the author to test stylesheets and documents without
accidentally overwriting existing documents.)</para>
