***Warning, Warning, Warning,*** relative references are relative to the temporary working directory created during the execution of the process command.

Or what can I do to preserve the filerefs? No, there is no bug here. The job of copyDocument is to copy the document *along with all its resources* to another place (generally the temporary directory of the process command). In order to do this, it generally makes sense to change the filerefs. If you take the time to carefully read the documentation of copyDocument, you'll find that dealing with document resources can be parametrized using *rules*. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/copyDocument.html#resources The *default* rules are: --- <resources match="(https|http|ftp)://.*" /> <resources match=".+" copyTo="." /> --- If you explicitly specify the rule below, then you are done: copyDocument will ignore all references to resources (found in filerefs in the case of DocBook). --- <resources match=".*" /> --- > By the way I have another question: > The process command copyDocument creates the file with <!DOCTYPE > chapter.... So the following " include-replace"-command does (can) not > use entities for the reference in the main document. Instead it uses > xi:include with xpointer. How can I manage to get entity-references? This would be illegal XML. An external entity cannot have a <!DOCTYPE>. Only a document can. That's why xi:include with xpointer is used instead. You need to strip the <!DOCTYPE> from the copied document, for example by using a transform element (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/transform.html) with a trivial XSLT style sheet.
