Hi Folks
I am just trying out XXE so I am a real newbie on things.
I have a book written in DocBook that so far I have put together by
editing in Emacs. I have organized the source for my book into
chapters. The master document has entity declarations for each chapter,
and then includes each chapter as entity references.
At the bottom of each chapter source file I have a few lines of emacs
local variable declarations that look something like this:
<!--
Local Variables:
sgml-parent-document:("UserGuide.db" "book" "chapter")
sgml-always-quote-attributes:t
sgml-indent-step:2
sgml-indent-data:t
End:
-->
These are the last lines in the file.
It appears as though the XXE parses this comment as being part of the
parent document, and then declines to treat the content as modular.
When I open the 'master' document, the parser informs me that the
document contains references that are not managed by XXE, and the
references will be replaced by their contents. If I remove the comment
then the XXE parser will then state that the references will be managed
by XXE.
I guess that this is 'correct behaviour', but it confused me for a while
until I figured it out. I just thought I would mention it in case
someone else has a similar confusion.
