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.

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 .
