The behavior that I am witnessing for the Open as Template functionality
does not seem to be what it should. The version 2.4p1 documentation
says that "[a] copy of [the] existing XML document will be emptied to
serve as the skeleton of your new document" (section 3.2). It goes on
to suggest trying the command using userguide.xhtml or userguide.xml.
The first produces a simple document with a placeholder for a title and
an empty body, and the second produces an article with just a paragraph.
I was expecting the document structures to be maintained intact, with
only the content (that is, PCDATA) stripped out (and, I would suppose,
element attributes). Should I not have expected that? It would be very
useful to be able to reuse old documents as templates for new ones in
this fashion.
Take care,
John L. Clark
