Representing attributes in MDITA

With the exception of key reference, attributes are not available in the MDITA core profile. In the MDITA extended profile, you can express attributes using their HDITA representation.

Reuse attribute in MDITA

In an MDITA core-profile topic, a key reference is represented using the GitHub Flavored Markdown syntax for shortcut reference links: [key-value]. There is no equivalent for content reference in the MDITA core profile.
