About the source document that refers to a WCN

The source document is a data module that requires a warning, caution or note in its contents. It refers to a data module rather than coding the WCN text into the document itself.

The actual WCN must be in the source document. This element must be coded so that the WCN contains only a single <para> child, which in turn contains only a single <refdm> child: the reference to the WCN data module, with an information code of "012".

Here is an example of an S1000D Issue 3.0 source document (ellipsis refers to missing content):

<warning>
  <para>
    <refdm>
      <dmc>
        ...
        <incode>012</incode>
        ...
      </dmc>
    </refdm>
  </para>
</warning>
