Hello all -

I'm a new user of Forrest and the associated technologies, so I hope I can
find some help with a basic question or two.

Basically, I'm looking for a way to centralize definitions of text variables
to be used throughout the various XML files in my project.

I'm using entity references to refer to contents of pre-defined entities
within my XML files. Within each file, I define the entity and then
reference it:

        <!DOCTYPE document PUBLIC "-//APACHE//DTD Documentation V1.2//EN"
"http://apache.org/forrest/dtd/document-v12.dtd"; [
        <!ENTITY frtzum '../xdocs/md/fretz/fretz_um.pdf'>
        ]>
        ...
        <td><link href="&frtzum;">User Manual</link></td>
        ...

This works fine, within each XML file. For a couple of reasons, I'd like to
collect all these entity definitions into a single configuration file
(mainly to minimize maintenance issues, such as using a single definition in
multiple XML files).

So, my questions are - is this possible, and what would be the recommended
way to implement this? 

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
