I'd suggest *defining* the parsing of the xinclude element rather than just going with the default. I'd start by parsing the xinclude as text (parse="text") and seeing if that prevents the parser from messing with the content. See "4.2 Included Items when parse="xml" and "4.3 Included Items when parse="text"" at http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/#processing This could also easily be bad advice. I just kind of flail my way out of situations like this. Jeff.

Then I include howto_website.xml in howto_all.xml (which is a book document) as follows: <book status="draft" version="5.0" xmlns=" http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; xmlns:xlink=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; xmlns:xi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; xmlns:svg=" http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns:mml=" http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"; xmlns:html=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:db=" http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";> ... <xi:include href="../howto_website/howto_website.xml" /> </book> My folder structure looks as follows: C:\SVNdocumentation\product\docs\checkout\topnav.jsp C:\SVNdocumentation\product\docs\src\docbook\howto_all\howto_all.xml C:\SVNdocumentation\product\docs\src\docbook\howto_website\howto_website.xml The build is successful for this document but the generated pdf DOES NOT contain the code snippet. I get following message on the command line: "Cannot read file://C:/checkout/topnav.jsp" Instead of resolving to //C:/SVNdocumentation/product/docs/checkout/topnav.jsp, it resolves to //C:/checkout/topnav.jsp which is an invalid path. Can anybody help me? Thanks, Jean-Christophe
