What is a "PI marker" or "programming instruction marker"

[Jim Owens]

With due respect for Jeremy, whom I esteem greatly, I think he may have 
overstated the case. You can get CHM output from oXygen with a few mouse 
clicks, and you can easily customize its appearance using CSS. There are 
also some ready-made parameter controls in oXygen, for example to create 
breadcrumbs (although I just tried that option and I don't see them in 
the output).

If you want to go further than that, you can either develop your XSLT 
skills -- which is a wise strategy, but one you should view as long-term 
-- or you can develop your Mif2Go/DITA2Go skills, which is a much easier 
challenge and one that gives you almost as much control of the output. 
(And if you're missing a control, Jeremy often adds one for you in an 
amazingly short time.)

I thought CHM output was there, but didn't know if it was useful or not. The OP mentioned restricting spending. I thought if he already had access to CHM output, why not use that.
