in DITA 1.2. This module is available in DITA-OT 1.5 and later.</shortdesc>

of <codeph>&lt;codeblock></codeph> to reference code stored externally
in non-XML documents. During the pre-process step, this Java module
pulls the referenced content into the <codeph>&lt;codeblock></codeph> element.</p></section>
