Reusing Content

The DITA framework allows reusing content from other DITA files with a content reference in the following ways:

DITA makes the distinction between local content, that is the text and graphics that are actually present in the element, and referenced content that is referred by the element but is located in a different file. You have the option of displaying referenced content by setting the option Display referred content that is available from menu Options > Preferences > Editor > Edit modes > Author.
