There is currently no practical way to automate this. Currently the only way to insert an reference resolved using an XML catalog is to do it by hand: [1] Edit|Reference|Copy as Reference then Paste (or use the Include tool). [2] Select the newly inserted inclusion and use Edit|Reference|Untransclude Reference. This replaces the transcluded contents by the inclusion directive (i.e. the xi:include). [3] Edit the inclusion directive by hand. For example, select the xi:include and use the Attribute tool to change its href attribute to href="ece-global:global-variables.ebk". [4] Use Edit|Reference|Retransclude Reference to replace the inclusion directive by the transcluded contents. This currently works fine[*] and when you'll save the document, it will actually contain: <xi:include href="ece-global:global-variables.ebk" xpointer="g-studio"/> --- [*] This technique is currently the only way to specify parse="text" for an XInclude.
