No. Once again, please take the time to read http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/user/userguide3.html#id.s3. See "Extensive use of the 'Copy as Reference' command". > I was hoping to have, say, a single table in a file, which could then > feature in several other files. This is very easy to do. Just give an id to the table, copy it as a reference (e.g. use Shift-Ctrl-C), and then paste it in the other document (normally, using Ctrl-W or Ctrl-U or Ctrl-V -- depending on the context). The only problem is an *interchange* one: When you'll save your DocBook document, XXE may save the reference to the external element as an external entity or as an *XInclude* (this is automatic, you have little control on this). In the case of a table found deep inside an external document, it will an XInclude. While XInclude is a standard, there are still XML softwares which do not support it yet.
