DOCBOOK-APPS: xmllint - xinclude

OK, not really specific to docbook, well It 
is

for my project which is entirely in 
docbook.

But this refers to generating html 
output.

 

I am using ant to compile all my 
docbook

sources, this is no problem. I deciced 
that

it would be a good idea to modularise

my html pages that are serving the 
docbook

documents. This was because I had a

common menu which appeared in all

the items so it was tedious to edit all the 
items'

web pages when I wanted to add a new 
item.

 

I pulled the common menu out and placed it 
in

a separate XML file, then placed 
xincludes

inside each of the html files to pull the 
common

menu in. My problem occurs when doing 
this

using xmllint and its --xinclude option.  
Everything

is output fine, except:

 

<style type="text/css" media="all">@import 

&quot;../../nice.css&quot;;</style>

 

The I need the ../../nice.css bit to be in 
actual

quotes, not entity references, it seems as 
though

xmllint changes these references because it 
thinkgs

they are 
content in the html page, I have tried

various output options with xmllint but I 
cannot

seem to fix this problem.  Is there a way to 
do this,

all I want --xinclude to do is, do the xinclude but 
leave

the rest of my document untouched.

 

Regards
