XIncludes are completely transparent to output generation - they are merged into your working document before the source is handed on to processing. > Also, can I put these anywhere > in a valid document? You can put them everwhere a <glossterm> can be put: http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/glossterm.html > If I understand correctly, I must make a different glossary file for every > set of text changes that I want. Then, before I render any output docbook, > I change the file name of the glossary to be used before opening the xml > files for formatting. I'm not sure I understand your question correctly, but you shouldn't have to rename anything at any point. Check out the example of using XIncludes in the XXE User Guide: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/user/userguide3.html#id.s3.3 - what this plugin does is basically a wrapper around the process of picking out a specific bit of content, copying it as a reference and pasting it into another document. The only limitation being that only <glossterm>s can be copied - if you want to copy something else you can just do the regular way. /claus -- Technical Communicator Web: http://techwriter.dk/ Phone: (+45) 262 000 94 Email: claus at techwriter.dk
