Hi, Thanks for the tip, but even this, it won't resolve the xinclude. I've downloaded the latest windows binary of xsltproc yesterday.
Any idea what I do wrong? Thanks, Vidar -----Original Message----- From: Hussein Shafie [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 30. januar 2007 10:54 To: S?rensen, Vidar Cc: xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com Subject: Re: [XXE] Xinclude processing question No, "element(some_unique_id)" works fine with xsltproc --xinclude. The problem is that xsltproc needs a <!DOCTYPE> to recognize what is an ID attribute. That is, it needs a <!DOCTYPE> in the master document (e.g. the book) but also in all the module documents (e.g. the included chapters). Next version of XXE has been slightly modified to improve the interchange of the modular documents it creates with other XML applications. Here's an excerpt of the document describing what has been changed: --- * Despite the fact that XXE exclusively uses standard mechanisms (XIncludes and, to a limited extent, references to external entities), naively creating modular documents may lead to interchange problems with third-party applications. We would like to avoid this kind of problems by all means, that why: 1. We have changed the DocBook4 and XHTML document templates to make this interchange problem less likely to happen. (Note that there is no such problems with DITA and with documents conforming to schemas other than DTDs.) 2. The tutorial now includes a section called "Creating modular documents which are highly interchangeable with other applications" which describes the problem and suggests best practices. --- vidar.soerensen at kongsberg.com wrote: > I'm using XXE to create modular docbook documents using Xinclude > references to the content of another file Example:. > * * <xi:include href="Somefile.xml" > xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; > xpointer="element(some_unique_id)" /> > > Downstream, I use xsltproc for procesing, but 'xsltproc --xinclude...' > does not seem to recognise the use of the ID construct. > xpointer="element(/1/2/3)" works fine. > > Any suggestions? > > --Vidar > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > -- > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <chapter> > <title>Test Chapter</title> > > <section> > <title>Including section</title> > > <para>The next section is inserted as an Xinclude reference</para> > > <xi:include href="General_Symbol_Drawing_Rules.xml" > xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; > xpointer="element(point_symb_draw_rules)" /> > </section> > > <section> > <title>The next local section</title> > > <para></para> > </section> > </chapter> > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > -- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
