Entities

An entity is a reusable fragment of the document content that can be reused multiple times by reference.

Unlike other editors, Serna allows you to edit entity references in-place and shows them as regular content.

There are two types of entities:
  1. Internal Entities

    An internal entity can be reused only in the document in which it was declared.

    Figure 1. Internal entity in the Editing Window and ContentMap.



  2. External Entities

    An external entity is saved to a separate file and can be reused in any document.
