There is no difference between Professional Edition and Personal Edition in terms of modular document support. There is currently no way to edit the contents of an "xi:include" element (e.g. insert an "xi:fallback" element). The reason is: XMLmind XML Editor does not allow to edit the *physical* representation of XML. For example, "xi:include" elements, just like namespace prefixes, only exist at document load time and at document save time. > Did I miss a configuration step?

Your test document is a DocBook v4.5 one. The DocBook v4.5 DTD does not allow to have "xi:include" elements anywhere in the document. > > P.S.: Syntext's Serna copes with both versions...nag, nag ;) > Not surprising. All the other commercial XML editors have much more features than XMLmind XML Editor. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
