I have been trying to find a way around the fact that I cannot use
Entities for replacement text.  I've read the tutorial with the VAT example
and pasting references and that works fine so I am almost there; it also
seems a well structured way to do this.  What I want to  do now, is set up
a macro command so that I can easily enter the reference while typing.
What I want to do is to be able to select the  text where the caret is and
then convert it into the element id in the xpointer of an xi:include.  The
href  location  would be predefined in the macro.

So the macro would insert:

<xi:include href="MyEntities.xml"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
xpointer="element(SELECTED_TEXT_GOES_HERE)" />

The trouble is I don't know how, with the macro commands, to insert the
<xi:include.  As the insert command from the menu will not let me insert an
xi:include (unless I'm missing something), I presume the insert macro
command will not either.

Can anyone help?
