--> In order to give you a quick start, we can send you a ready-to-use configuration which implements what's described above. Please specify if you want this configuration to [a] replace the stock DocBook 4 configuration or [b] to coexist with the stock DocBook 4 configuration. ([a] is slightly simpler to maintain than [b]). --> Such configuration, while working, cannot be comfortable to use in XMLmind XML Editor. * XMLmind XML Editor natively supports XInclude, but makes the use of XInclude transparent to the document author. As a consequence, while this will work OK, XMLmind XML Editor is not designed to make it easy inserting <xi:include> elements by hand. * An existing &company; will work as expected but, using XMLmind XML Editor, there is *no* *way* to insert a new &company; in a document. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/limitations.html --> Out of the box, XMLmind XML Editor allows to compose modular documents based on XInclude and to insert ``XML variables'' such as "company" with a great productivity. Therefore, in our opinion, the customization you want is not useful. Please take the time to read the following chapters of our documentation: * XMLmind XML Editor - User's Guide ** Tutorial: creating a modular document -- http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/user/tutorial_modular_document.html ** Being productive with XXE *** Quickly insert ``XML variables'' in your document using the Include tool -- http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/user/being_productive.html#include_tool If you are not convinced, we'll send you a ready-to-use configuration which implements what's described above. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
