Bob:
Thank you very kindly for the reply. I should have included the entire file in
the example given,
it does indeed have a dtd, exactly as shown in your book:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";>
<chapter>
<chapterinfo>
<date id="DateVer">January 2012 Version 1.2.3</date>
<releaseinfo id="RelInfo">12-002009-16.c</releaseinfo>
<copyright id="Copyright">
<year>2012. All rights reserved</year>
</copyright>
</chapterinfo>...
However there is a peculiarity when running ANY file through xsltproc,
it complains about every file, included or omitted:
Version.xml:3: warning: failed to load external entity
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";>
which I honestly thought was just some noise as this usually does not interfere
with the expected processing,
until now.
I suspect that would cause the issue. How can I get past that?
Migrating to docbook 5 is probably not an option at the moment.
Than you very much, not only for your reply, but for the great work you do
supporting the community and in writing the Complete Guide!

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] xinclude xpointer not including with id
In this section of my book:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularDoc.html#XincludeSelect
I address that problem with this sentence:
"For selections based on id, the included document must have a DOCTYPE
eclaration
hat correctly points to the DocBook DTD. It is the DTD that declares that id
ttributes are of the ID type (the name id is not sufficient). If the file does
ot
ave the DOCTYPE or if the DTD cannot be opened, then such references will not
esolve."
So does Version.xml have a DOCTYPE declaration?
Looking at my own sentence, I have to think: what about DocBook 5 which does
ot use
DOCTYPE? No problem. DocBook 5 files use xml:id, which is predefined as of
ype

ubject: [docbook-apps] xinclude xpointer not including with id
ome background I am using xsltproc to process modular documents to pdf.
have a file where I just want the one element included.
t is not getting included and I am getting error messages, like:
element include: XInclude error : could not load Version.xml
I would think it would be a xsltproc issue, but I am following the examples in
he
ocumentation and it is not working like that... so perhaps there is something
bvious
ere I am overlooking.
so file Version.xml contains :
<chapter>
<chapterinfo>
<date id="DateVer">January 2012 Version 1.2.3</date>
<releaseinfo id="RelInfo">12-002009-16.c</releaseinfo>
<copyright id="Copyright">
<year>2012. All rights reserved</year>
</copyright>
</chapterinfo>...
n my file Book.xml
am tring to include the date info...
!--Original xinclude should have worked per example in chapter 23-->
!--xi:include href="Version.xml" xpointer="DateVer"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; / -->
<!--according to doc this way should also too, but does not-->
xi:include href="Version.xml" xpointer="xpointer(id('DateVer'))"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; />
I have also tried :
!--xi:include href="Version.xml" xpointer="element(DateVer)"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude"; / -->
nd
!--xi:include href="Version.xml" xpointer="element(date)"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude"; / -->
nd none of these work, I am only interested in including the content of the
date>
lement from the Version.xml file.
Now were I to do, this,
<xi:include href="Version.xml" xpointer="element(/1)"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; />
then I get the entire contents from the Version.xml, which is not what I am
nterested
n.
s there something that I am missing here?
hy is this not working as indicated? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Gregorio
