<?tignchar>
Description
This PI is used to instruct PTC ALD to ignore any characters that would normally be output to the document. All PIs are processed as normal. This allows text present within the source stream to be hidden while still processing any tags.
* 
Using tignchar will cause line feeds to be ignored and not trigger a new line.
