Thanks for the help Bartosz. However, I have a large data definition of both texts and citations so I was wondering if its possible to insert the texts and citations all in one go when writing to the VE surface. In such cases, we expect the VE surface to identify, the citation where we are including the 'mwTransclusionInline' template in our data. Please is this possible?
