##### 24.5.10.2 Starting a new hierarchy after the current block

To open a new element or hierarchy of elements after the current block ends:

    [DITAOpenAfter]
    ; Frame para format = elements to be opened, with any other elements
    ; nested under them, after the current block element ends.
    somefmt = someancestor

Use this setting to force opening of elements when [DITAParents] does not suffice.

For individual cases, you can insert a DITAOpenAfter PI marker in the paragraph for the current block element instead, with content the name(s) of the element(s) to open. You can also use a DITAOpenAfter PI marker to override a [DITAOpenAfter] setting when you want to open an element or hierarchy other than what the setting specifies.
