--> In principle the answer is no. XMLmind XML Editor is free to arrange non-significant whitespace, namespace prefix declarations, etc, as it wants as long as the XML contents is well-formed. As explained here: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/limitations.html , if you want to have a fine-grained control over the physical representation of XML, then XMLmind XML Editor is clearly not the editor of choice. --> Now you may try to slightly change your DTD. Instead of declaring attribute xmlns:xi for element xi:include, --- <!ELEMENT xi:include (xi:fallback?)> <!ATTLIST xi:include xmlns:xi CDATA #FIXED "http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; href CDATA #IMPLIED parse (xml|text) "xml" xpointer CDATA #IMPLIED encoding CDATA #IMPLIED accept CDATA #IMPLIED accept-language CDATA #IMPLIED > --- declare this attribute on top-level elements such book, chapter, etc. After doing that, do not forget to clear the DTD cache by clicking Options|Preferences, Advanced|Cache Data, Schema Cache|Clear Cache (more info. http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.guiutil.PreferencesEditorDialog.html#cacheOptions ). If this change does not solve your problem, then the answer to your question is definitely no. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
