-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, I started to work on documentation, read what we have done and again search information about XML. Some time ago I had concern how to have one common document info included in each file such as: author, copyright and some other info but don't have this info repeated in master document at the beginning of each section in target format. The more I would like to be able to publish also each part as separate document and then, of course, I want this document info to be displayed. Now, I think I found a solution with use of xinclude and xpath. Let's assume we have or parts of our documentation in following form: (samplefile.xml) <section> <sectioninfo> <authorgroup> </authorgroup> <date> </date> <copyrigth> </copyright> </sectioninfo> <title></title> <abstract></abstract> <para></para> <para></para> <para></para> <'all other elements'/> <sectio></section> <sectio></section> <sectio></section> </section> Now we want to include in master document everything apart from <sectioninfo/> element with it's content. We can include content of above document apart from <sectioninfo/> with following command: <xi:include href="samplefile.xml#xpointer(/section/*[name()!='sectioninfo']/descendant-or-self::*)" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" /> But above command includes only content of section - root element. If you want to have it as separate section in master document you have to embrace above command with <section> element. Artur - -- Artur Hefczyc "Don't change people, just live with them."

I don't know if you know XPath, to effectively use above idea, XPath at least basic XPath knowledge is necessary and above sample looks complicated even for somebody familiar with it. (Probably there is simpler version of above expression.) I have found excellent site: http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XPathTutorial/General/examples.html and there is also self-training tool where you can experiment with XPath expressions: http://www.zvon.org:9001/saxon/cgi-bin/XLab/XML/xlabIndex.html?stylesheetFile=XSLT/xlabIndex.xslt Artur - -- Artur Hefczyc "Don't change people, just live with them."

This way, we don't need to edit the source guides.

Please don't feel offended that I am repeating it again but I want to be sure we understand each other. Well, I didn't mean to remove <sectioninfo> from our guides. Just the opposite, I was thinking about adding it to all guides to have author, copyright, and so on... info included in all files. Because sometimes I would like to generate HTML page from only basicxml.xml document and sometimes I want basicxml.xml to be included as section in another large document. My concern was, how to include such files in master document without having <sectioninfo> content repeated at the beginning of each section in target XML file. Of course, the obvious solution is to omit <sectioninfo> during inclusion part content. But I didn't know if this is possible with <xinclude> element. The above sample shows how to accomplish this and include file content without unnecessary part.
