<para>The <sgmltag>coref</sgmltag> plays a role for callouts that is analagous
to the role of <sgmltag>footnoteref</sgmltag> for footnotes.</para>

<para>Use one <sgmltag>co</sgmltag> and one or more
<sgmltag>coref</sgmltag> elements when you want to indicate that the
same callout should appear in several places.</para>

<note>
<para>A <sgmltag>coref</sgmltag> is not a cross-reference to a callout
(use <sgmltag>xref</sgmltag> for that), rather, it is an indication that the
callout appears semantically in more than one place.</para>
