Hmmm. Yes, this would work, and would probably be the best way to pull in a term if you also want a link. Otherwise, I think conref is the only way to reuse a term with DITA 1.1. I know there are at least two proposals on the table for 1.2 that may provide an easier way to reuse the term. One is Issue 40 for keyref: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/13757/IssueNumber40.html The other is Issue 43 for semantic or implicit linking: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/15122/IssueNumber43.html Thanks- Robert D Anderson IBM Authoring Tools Development Chief Architect, DITA Open Toolkit (507) 253-8787, T/L 553-8787 "W.
