<coderef>
The <coderef>
element references an external file that contains literal
code. When evaluated, the <coderef>
element should cause the target code
to be displayed inline. If the target contains non-XML characters such as '<' or
'&', those will need to be handled in a way that they may be displayed correctly by the
final rendering engine. This element is part of the DITA programming domain, a special set
of DITA elements designed to document programming tasks, concepts, and reference
information.
