About this task
The
conref attribute of an element allows
to reference the contents (text, child elements, some of the attributes)
of another element.
Instead of just seeing an empty element having a
conref attribute (that is, the ``pointer''), it is nicer to see
the referenced contents. This process is called transclusion
and XMLmind XML Editor can do it for you.
Note
Everything explained here should also work for DITA
maps.
Note
The following procedure
(
Copy as Reference then
Paste) is not specific to DITA. The same procedure
could be used to add references to DocBook or XHTML documents. This is why
it is explained in great details in our
tutorial 
.
