6.2. Use content in multiple places in a document

The parameter-variable Allows content to be used by its value in multiple places in a document. This means is an alternative to reusing content within the same document.

The value of the item parameter-variable is used at the time of publication.

To insert a parameter-variable:

  1. Specify an identifier (see To identify) on the element that contains the text to be reused. It is often an element of the block “information” of the document such as a product name, organization, version number, etc.
