Try this:
<chapter>
<xi:include href="docbook-file-containing-the-modular-content.xml"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
xpointer="xpointer(//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'IdOfTheSectionElement']/*)"/>
</chapter>

> Reading Chapter 22. Modular DocBook files in DocBook XSL led

> <chapter>
> <xi:include href="docbook-file-containing-the-modular-content.xml"
> xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
> xpointer="element(IdOfTheSectionElement/*)"
> /> </chapter>

> But the xi:include fails. I use xmllint to resolve
> xi:includes. It gives the following errors:
>
> docbook-file-that-is-including.xml:11: element include:
> XInclude error :
> XPointer evaluation failed: #element(IdOfTheSectionElement/*)
> docbook-file-that-is-including.xml:11: element include:
> XInclude error :
> could not load
> docbook-file-containing-the-modular-content.xml, and no
> fallback was found
>
> Is my xpointer syntax incorrect? Other xi:includes from the
> same source file resolved without any trouble (they include
> entire elements).
>
> Is there a better way to reuse <section> and <chapter>
> elements in each other's hierarchical places?
>
> In case it matters, here's my xmllint version:
>
> $ xmllint --version
