Check Therion's wiki for examples. Note: all outputs are generated by Therion according parameters in map definition and parameters of output.
This is base definition of particular map which will be used for generating final map. The layers above (under break or according preview definition) are semitransparent (adjustable).

... scrap, survey or other map references ...

... next level scrap, survey or other map references ...
preview <above/below> <other map id>
endmap
From Therion's book:
if you refer to map, you can specify ofset at which this sub-map will be displayed together with preview type of its original position. Syntax is following: <map reference> [<offset X> <offset Y> <units>] <above/below/none>
Definition of layers in output parameters section:
- colo[u]r <item> <colour> . customize colour for special map items (map-fg, mapbg, preview-above, preview-below, label). Colour range is 0{100 for grayscale, [0{100 0{100 0{100] triplet for RGB colours. For map-fg, you can use altitude, scrap or map as colours. In this case the map is coloured according to altitude, scraps or maps.
- layers <on/off> . enable/disable PDF 1.5 layers (M, A; default: on)
- opacity <value> . set opacity value (used if transparency is on). Value range is 0{100. (M, A; default: 70) = opacity of above level
