I am trying to use an xi:include element to include the entire content
of an XML file in my DocBook content. The included content is not
DocBook content. I am displaying it in a programlisting element (it is
the subject of my documentation). If I edit the DocBook XML file
outside of XXE, the following xi:include works very well. I publish it
using the DocBook XSLT stylesheets through the Saxon processor.
<programlisting>
<xi:include href="example-file.xml"
parse="text"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; />
</programlisting>
If I try to open the DocBook file (the referencing file) in XXE, it
shows a message warning that the reference is not maintained by XXE and
that it will be replaced by the actual content. I can't replace the
xi:include with the content this way, however I want to use XXE to do
all the rest of my DocBook authoring.
My questions:
1. Can XXE include the contents of an entire XML file in a DocBook
element in a way that it will maintain? XXE maintains other xi:includes
for me and I am happy with those. However, the "copy as reference"
command is not available for the file I need to include.
2. Is there any way to configure XXE to ignore the xi:include elements
that it does not maintain?
I am using the standard edition 3.4.0 on Windows XP. Thanks for your
help. My apologies if I missed this topic in an archived discussion.
