I'm running into a problem using xmllint to resolve xincludes in DocBook 5.0. I'm running xmllint 2.6.31, which I believe is the latest stable version, on Linux. The only argument I'm using on xmllint is --xinclude.
I have no problem with a vanilla xinclude that just pulls in the entire file like this: <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; href="chap1.xml"/> or one that uses xpointer with the element expression like this: <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; href="chap1.xml" xpointer="element(idvalue)"/> But, xmllint fails if I use an xpointer expression like this: <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; href="chap1.xml" xpointer="xpointer(//chapter/title/node())"/> After playing around for a while, I found that xmllint will work with DocBook 5.0 if I remove xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; from the parent element in the included file. The xmlns attribute is a no-op on the including file; xmllint fails whether the namespace is there or not. Since removing xmlns makes the included file invalid, doing that is not a practical long term solution. Does anyone know a way to get xmllint (or some alternate processor) to handle xincludes with xpointer in DocBook 5.0?
