Very nice, George. I've done something similar in C (it only depends on
standard libs). I never got around to finishing it, though. :/ The
advantage of Bash, would be that hopefully, more would be able to help
out. To me, I've found that the hard part is iterating through all the
xi:include tags in the LFS book. Also, keeping track of and swapping out
the entities and their values can be difficult.
Anyway, thanks for this. If you get it to a point where it does what the
current XSL script does, we just might be able to drop it in. :) Fewer
dependencies are always nice.

Thank you for your response.
I am working on such a solution, again using pure bash (no other
binaries involved, whatever those may be). It is possible to have such
an "iterator", that is also relatively fast for a script. I do have a
working (but buggy) prototype for this.
The problem can be solved if you build other scripts that are capable
of handling complex data structures (ie "bi-dimensional" arrays -->
tables) in bash without patching it.
Provided I have the time to work on it the next few days you will be
definitely seeing something of interest regarding XML processing
commands, comment support and _fast_ entity dereferencing.
So, soon to come, just for the fun of it!
