As I have already said I have no strong preference on this. Using element content seemed more convenient for me. > What purpose does <application><ref .../> serve? Nothing special, reference is simply enclosed in application element, so after transclusion is processed you will get <application>FooWiz</application> Also, while it is not shown in examples, def element can contain any markup. So you can also have: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"> <info> <title>Transclusions demo</title> <definitions> <def name="product-version">3.14</def> <def name="product-name"><application>FooWiz</application></def> <def name="corp-name">ACME Inc.</def> </definitions> </info> <para>The latest version of <ref>product-name</ref> from <ref>corp-name</ref> is <ref>product-version</ref>.</para> </article> Hope it is more clear now.
