53 <p><small><a href="#seealso">See Also</a></small></p>
54 <p>You use the Reference dialog box to define a reference to a schema component.</p>
55 <p>You open the Reference dialog box by right-clicking a schema component to which you can add a reference and choosing Add > <i>component</i> Reference from the pop-up menu.</p>
57 <li>The title of the dialog box changes depending on the reference you are adding. The title reflects the referenced schema component: <i>component</i> Reference.<br>
58 For example, Element Reference and Attribute Reference.</li>
60 <p>This dialog box has only one field, a selection box where you can select the schema component you want to reference. This selection box has two nodes:</p>
62 <li><b><i>Component</i> node.</b> This node and its contents change depending on the type of reference you are adding: <tt>Attributes</tt>, <tt>Attribute Groups</tt>, <tt>Elements</tt>, or <tt>Groups</tt>. You can expand these nodes to select a component of that type that exists in your schema.</li>
63 <li><b>Referenced Schemas node.</b> This node lets you select a component of the type you are referencing that exists in a schema that is referenced in your schema.</li>
