# DocReferenceHandlerBase

> Base class for documentation reference handlers providing common file copying functionality.

## Definition

**Assembly:** CloudNimble.DotNetDocs.Core.dll

**Namespace:** CloudNimble.DotNetDocs.Core

**Inheritance:** System.Object

## Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
CloudNimble.DotNetDocs.Core.DocReferenceHandlerBase
```

## Summary

Base class for documentation reference handlers providing common file copying functionality.

## Remarks

This abstract class contains shared logic for copying files from referenced documentation projects,
including directory recursion, exclusion pattern matching, and glob pattern support.

Derived classes should implement `String)` to provide format-specific
processing such as content rewriting and resource relocation.
