Adding Pre-Existing Text to Structured FM Document

I use West Street Consulting's free InsetPlus plugin to insert structured content at any point in any document that needs it. The plugin is able to use a DITA-like conref attribute to make it clear where the content is coming from.

An element definition can't include text (unless it's part of a prefix or suffix), but a template can typically contain whatever structure and content that you want to include.

If you're looking for a way to insert boilerplate content and structure while authoring, you might take a look at my StructureSnippets plugin ..

This lets you define personal and shared snippet libraries what can be inserted easily as needed.

That depends completely on you, your environment or your company agenda.

For pre-existing text, you can define it in the template, as building blocks in a CMS, as building blocks in a referenced file or whatever your path is.

Essentially this is often up to the company setup. If there is none, well, do as you please
