Digital Support Suites (DSS) provided by the AF Technical Manual Speciications and Standards (TMSS)
activity (see F.2). This appendix is a mandatory part of this detail speciication. The information herein
is intended for compliance.
F.1.2 Template Tool. The Document Type Deinition (DTD) is the primary tool that is used as a template
for authoring AF TMs and is based on rules outlined in MIL-PRF-28001 and ISO 8879. See F.2.1 for
information about the DTD speciied for this appendix subset.
F.2 DSS.
The DSS is comprised of the following tools for authoring and rendering the TM. See A.3 for information
about obtaining DSS component iles in digital format through the TMSS activity web site. For information
about the current status of DSS tools, see A.3.4.
F.2.1 DTD. The DTD provides the structure and content template in accordance with the content speciic
requirements of this speciication (see 3.2.3). To be delivered digitally, the TM shall be tagged using
the applicable DTD provided through the TMSS activity. Information concerning the markup language
type and use of DTDs currently provided, i.e., Standardized General Markup Language (SGML), may be
obtained through the contacts listed under A.3.
F.2.2 Formatted Output Speciication Instance (FOSI). The FOSI provides formatting for each element of an
SGML tagged instance for rendering as a page-oriented document. It contains formatting information that
