#### 17.3.3 Replacing paragraph or character content

You can direct DITA2Go to replace the content of a paragraph, or of a character-formatted span of text, with arbitrary RTF code. For example, to replace page numbers with graphics in a generated file to be included in WinHelp output:

    [HelpStyles]
    ; Replace deletes, and also puts out the RTF in [HelpReplacements]
    IOMpgnum=Replace

You specify the replacement RTF code as a property of the format in question, in the following section. For example:

    [HelpReplacements]
    ; Replace causes the insertion of the corresponding raw RTF code below
    ;   in place of the original content of the named para or char format
    IOMpgnum=\ .{bm c document.bmp\.}

This feature is used in the WinHelp version of the DITA2Go User's Guide, to replace page numbers in keyword indexes with bitmap graphics.
