-            <p class="- topic/p ">When a DITA topic containing a conref referencing element is
-                processed for output (or displayed in some DITA editors), the output generator
-                replaces the referencing element with the referenced element and all the content of
-                referenced element. This includes any elements contained within the referenced
-                element. For example, if a referenced &lt;p> element contains a &lt;uicontrol>
-                element, the referencing &lt;p> element is replaced by the referenced &lt;p> element
-                and the &lt;uicontrol> element contained within it. Similarly, a conref to an
-                &lt;ol> element includes all the &lt;li> elements that are contained by the &lt;ol>

+                contained &lt;uicontrol element will be inserted at the location of the referencing element.
