##### 3.2.1.3 conbodydiv

The <conbodydiv> element is similar to the <bodydiv> element in that it provides an informal container for content that may be grouped within a concept. There are no additional semantics attached to the conbodydiv element; it is purely a grouping element provided to help organize content.

The parent <conbody> element has a restriction that sections or examples can only be followed by other sections or examples. The <conbodydiv> element, which allows groupings of sections and examples, keeps the same restriction in place; once used, only sections, examples, or other <conbodydiv> groups are allowed.

###### Contains

Doctype | Content model
concept, ditabase, glossary, glossentry, glossgroup, learningContent | (example or section) (any number)

###### Contained by

Doctype | Content model
concept, ditabase, glossary, glossentry, glossgroup, learningContent | conbody

###### Inheritance

- topic/bodydiv concept/conbodydiv

###### Example

One common use case for the <conbodydiv> element is to group a sequence of sections for reuse, so that another concept may reference the entire set with a single conref attribute.

    <concept id="sample" xml:lang="en">
     <title>Conbodydiv example</title>
     <shortdesc>This concept is a sample of how to
    use conbodydiv.</shortdesc>
     <conbody>
      <p>Introduce the example.</p>
      <p>Next group some sections that may be reused elsewhere.</p>
      <conbodydiv id="my_conbodydiv">
       <section><title>First</title> ... </section>
       <section><title>Second</title> ... </section>
      </conbodydiv>
     </conbody>
    </concept>
