The trick I use to get around this is to create a "proxy" file containing all the parse="text" includes, and the xinclude elements from this file normally. So: 1. Include sourcefile.c in proxyfile.xml with parse="text". Probably wrap the include in a <programlisting> that you equip with an id attribute so you can include the programlisting smoothly. 2. Include the <programlisting> from proxyfile.xml in your real document.xml. This way the included contents of sourcefile.c won't be expanded in document.xml - only if you open proxyfile.xml will XXE expand the source. For further convenience I've written a little utility that will generate the proxyfile.xml by: reading a directory of source files, including each file in a <programlisting> and setting the id attribute to the filename of the included source. If the source gets updated, all I have to do is to run the util to generate a new proxyfile.xml and I'm all set. Hope this provides some inspiration. /claus -- Technical Communicator Web: http://techwriter.dk/ Phone: (+45) 262 000 94 Email: claus at techwriter.dk
