| <para>If <parameter>rootid</parameter> is not empty, it must be the |
| value of an ID that occurs in the document being formatted. The entire |
| document will be loaded and parsed, but formatting will begin at the |
| element identified, rather than at the root. For example, this allows |
| you to process only <tag>chapter</tag> 4 of a <tag>book</tag>.</para> |
| <para>Because the entire document is available to the processor, automatic |
| numbering, cross references, and other dependencies are correctly |
| resolved.</para> |
