Thank you for a clear answer.

I notice that the section/chapter files do not carry the DocBook declaration at the top of the file. They look as though they are plain UTF 8 xml files.

Was that how it was in DocBook 4.3? I'm wondering whether something external stripped those lines out of the files.

regards,

akagi

Is this because 4.1 isn't supported any more?

DocBook v4.1 has never been supported by XMLmind XML Editor. The oldest version of DocBook we support is v4.1.2.

However I don't think that the problem is related to the version of DocBook. See below.




What would be a quick solution to enable full functions on this document?


There is no quick solution if the sections and chapters are included by the means of *entity* *references*, for example:

---
&chapter1;
---

(where entity "chapter1" is declared as follows in the internal subset of the DTD:

---
<!DOCTYPE ... [

...

  <!ENTITY chapter1 SYSTEM "chapter1.xml">

...

]>
---
)

and not by the means of *XIncludes*, for example:

---
<xi:include href="chapter1.xml"
            xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; />
---

As of XMLmind XML Editor v4, we have dropped full support of such legacy documents. Therefore, the only way to edit such documents using XMLmind XML Editor is to first use a text editor in order to manually convert all entity references to XIncludes.
