Copy As Reference/Paste works between two documents [1] belonging to the same document type and [2] supporting an Inclusion Scheme (currently XHTML strict and transitional, DocBook 4, DocBook 5, DITA topics, DITA maps, DITA bookmaps). (Tip: Copy As Reference/Paste works also within the same document.) > B.

No. Copy As Reference/Paste is not restricted to XHTML whether strict or transitional. (Tip: Copy As Reference/Paste works fine between XHTML strict and XHTML transitional.) > C.

When this works, notice that the clipboard tool found at the bottom/left of XXE main window displays some text colored in *gray*. * If you want to work with ``XML variables'', the elements which are to be copied by reference and then pasted are typically: - <span> elements for XHTML, - <phrase> elements for DocBook, - <ph> elements for DITA topics. * Ctrl-V works normally once the clipboard contains something (whether some normal contents or a reference to some contents). This means that Ctrl-V will *not* work if: - You paste something in a place where the DTD/schema does not allow it. For example, do not expect to be able to paste a reference to a <td> inside a <li>. - You paste something in a place which is not editable (e.g. inside an inclusion). - You use Ctrl-V when you should use Ctrl-U or Ctrl-W. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
