Re: [docbook-apps] XInclude from sources different than Docbook or text files

Unfortunately, this is not a solution.
I have a source of elements like this:

<Identity id="someID">
  <Description>Some text</Description>

</Identity>

and need to get the content of <Description>. Does this require defining another namespace? How should I deal with it?

Thanks,

I've had reasonable success with:

<xi:include href=""external-data.xml"" xpointer="id" xmlns:xi="http://

www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>

I generally only use use xml:ids and process with xsltproc.

hope that helps,
