select (XPath Expression)

The selection (most likely a variable) that is to be copied.

Example

<SetVariable variable="myparagraph">
  <Paragraph>
    <Value select="@name"/><Value>, Symbol=</Value><Value select="@symbol"/>
  </Paragraph>
</SetVariable>
<PlaceObject>
  <Textblock>
    <Copy-of select="$myparagraph"/>
  </Textblock>
</PlaceObject>

<PlaceObject>
  <Textblock>
    <Paragraph>
      <Value select="@name"/><Value>, Symbol=</Value><Value select="@symbol"/>
    </Paragraph>
  </Textblock>
</PlaceObject>

with the exception that the values of @name and @symbol can be evaluated before the text gets output.
