Hello.
I'm thinking about purchasing XML Mind profession edition, but before I
do I want to make sure about something. I have an absolute requirement
to be able to "variablize" product names. Normally I would just use
shared text entities for this (e.g. <!ENTITY myprod "My New Product
Name> but XmlMind replaces these on import.
So I'm wondering if I can achieve the same effect using XInclude. What
I would want to do is have a file with all my variables in it, and
identify each with an id tag. For example:
<para><phrase id="myprod">My New Product Name</phrase><phrase
id="otherprod">My Other Product Name</phrase>
and then use XInclude to include the appropriate phrase where necessary
in the text body. By reading the product doc and by playing around with
the free version of XMLMind, it certainly seems like this should work.
However, I'm reluctant to gamble a few hundred dollars only to find out
that it doesn't.
Also, I need to know if this sort of thing will work with the PDF and
RTF conversion plug-ins that are available for XmlMind.
Thanks for your help.
