Insert a Reusable Content Component

You can insert a reusable content component that you created using the Oxygen XML Editor Create Reusable Component ... action.
CAUTION:
This procedure is for inserting reusable components created using the Oxygen XML Editor Create Reusable Component ... action. It assumes certain things about the structure of the reusable content file that may not be true of reusable content created by other methods. It may not provide the expected results when used with files that do not have this structure.
Note:

The Insert Reusable Content action creates a DITA conref to insert the content, and creates a parent element for the conref attribute based on the type of the reusable element in the reusable component file. This action ensures that the correct element is used to create the conref. However, that element must still be inserted at a point in the current topic where that element type is permitted.

  1. Place the insertion point where you want the reusable component inserted. Note that a reusable component must be inserted in a location that can accept the reusable content element.
  2. Select DITA > Insert Reusable Component.... The Insert Reusable Component dialog box is displayed.
  3. Locate the reusable content file you want to use and click Insert.
