Copies to the clipboard a reference to the selected nodes (i.e. a pointer to selected nodes). This reference can be later pasted into another document^[3], using any of the normal paste commands — Edit → Paste Before (Ctrl+U), Edit → Paste (Ctrl+V), Edit → Paste After (Ctrl+W) — in places where the grammar constraining the target document allows to do so.

	The pasted reference cannot be edited in place. It is displayed with a light gray background to clearly indicate this. Use menu item Edit → Document Reference → Edit Referenced Document (Ctrl+Shift+E) to open a new window allowing to edit the document containing the referenced nodes.

This command is enabled only for documents associated to a configuration declaring a inclusion scheme (see Section 17, “inclusionScheme” in XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment). DITA documents use the conref inclusion scheme. DocBook, XHTML and TEI Lite documents use the XInclude inclusion scheme.

By default, it is possible to copy as a reference only an element having an ID attribute or the root element of a document. However, for documents using the XInclude inclusion scheme, this restriction may be relaxed by using Options → Preferences, Edit section, Allow advanced use of XInclude checkbox. When this option is turned on, it becomes possible to copy as a reference any range of sibling nodes.

It is not possible to copy as reference the text selection, a reference, descendant nodes of a reference or any node selection directly containing one or more references. If you want to do so, simply use the normal Edit → Copy command, as this command preserves^[4] existing references.

Shift-clicking menu item "Copy as Reference" invokes command "copyAsInclusion in XMLmind XML Editor - Commands [implicitElement][multipleInstances]" which copies as a reference some contents intended to be pasted to several different locations in the same document. For now, only DocBook 5.1 documents support the "[multipleInstances]" option. For any other type of document, option "[multipleInstances]" is simply ignored.

Displays a file chooser dialog box allowing to choose a text file (of any kind: XML, HTML, .bat, C/C++, etc). The content of this text file is then included in the document being edited at caret position.

This kind of inclusion is implemented by the means of an <xi:include parse="text"> element. Therefore, this command is disabled unless the document being edited supports the XInclude inclusion scheme.

Replaces included nodes by the inclusion directive (e.g. xi:include element).

Any kind of selection inside the included nodes suffices to specify the subject of this command.

Replaces all the included nodes found in the document being edited by the corresponding inclusion directives.

Inverse action of Untransclude Reference: replaces inclusion directive (e.g. xi:include element) by up-to-date included nodes.

The inclusion directive must be explicitly or implicitly selected.

Using untransclude allows to edit the inclusion directive by hand before retranscluding it. This is useful in the two following cases:

Replaces all the inclusion directives found in the document being edited by the corresponding included nodes.

If current document is referenced by another document already opened in XXE and displayed in another window, this command brings the window of this other document to front. If there is no such referencing document, this command is silently disabled.

If the caret or the selection is inside a reference to an element contained in another document, this command brings the window of this other document to front. If the referenced document is not yet opened in XXE, this command will open it.

See example above.
