##### 24.4.3.9 Mapping several paragraphs formats to the same element

Suppose your document includes three different paragraph formats for quotations:

Quote in body text

FtnQ in footnotes

CellQ in table cells.

All three map to DITA element <lq>. You can make this semantic equivalence explicit in section [DITAAliases], and use the collective alias in other configuration sections:

    [DITAAliases]
    FtnQ = Quote
    CellQ = Quote

    [DITAParaTags]
    Quote = lq
