Hi,
You could use a system entity reference. System entities do not have to be
well-formed XML documents, and they are processed by every XML parser. However, they
do have to be declared before being used.
<!DOCTYPE article [
<!ENTITY exampleA SYSTEM "programlisting.xml">
]>
<article>
<example>
<title>My example</title>
&exampleA;
</example>
</article>

Subject: [docbook] Including multiple elements
Hi,
Is there a clean way to put multiple elements to include in a document
into one file?
For example, I have the following toplevel file:
<article>
<example>[...]</example>
</article>
At the place of the [...], I want to insert a generated
<programlisting/> and <calloutlist/> (which belong together, and
therefore are generated in one file). I'm currently doing it like
this:
<article>
<example>
<include xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
href="programlisting.xml"
xpointer="xpointer(//programlisting|//calloutlist)"/>
</example>
</article>
Where programlisting.xml looks like this:
<foo>
<programlisting>...</programlisting>
<calloutlist>...</calloutlist>
</foo>
The drawbacks are that
a) The dummy 'foo' element is ugly
b) this uses xpointer, which not all processors support
I was hoping I could replace <foo/> by some container element like
<div/> in HTML, such that I could xinclude the whole document, but
there is no such element in DocBook AFAIK.
Is there a cleaner alternative (except for splitting both up into 2 files)?
thanks,
Remko
