No, probably I just mess things up ;-) I thought I remember having read=20
something like this about document() in Michael Kay's book, but probably=20
it was about something different.

That's true, since an included entity cannot define further entity references.

The document() function is definitly part of XSLT 1.0. Do you refer to any 
special treatment of the document() function?

As far as I know XML does not allow nesting system entities. You could 
try to use the import features of XSLT instead: it is possible to open 
additional files while processing XSLT code. Although this is not 
official part of the XSLT 1.0 spec most XSLT processors (including the 
version of Saxon in the distribution) support the document(..) function 
which gets a URL and returns the root element of the document given by 
this URL.

[XWeb-Users] XML files including files including files.

[Jesper V. <jv...@ph...>]

Hi,

Thanks to Felix Schwarz, I can now import other XML-files in my XML, and let
XWeb process the documnet.
(See last thread). This works fine, and it will do what I need to be done.

However, blod as I am, I ran into difficulties when I started to import XML
files in more than one level.
What I want is to import XML files into XLM files, where the imported files
themself import other XML files.
Is this possible? XWeb states, what the XML is not 'well formed'.

Thanks in advance.

Jesper

I saw a similar problem with referencing dtds. "Solution" was to
specify the absolute URI eg. "file:///c:/path/file.dtd".

[XWeb-Users] Cannot find file in ENTITY

[Jesper V. <jv...@ph...>]

I include an XML file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mainmenu [
	<!ENTITY homemain1 SYSTEM "homemain.xml">
]>
<mainmenu>
&homemain1;
</mainmenu>

XWeb presentes me with the following error message (but I happen to know
that the file is there):

XSLT processing document: 'C:\phcweb\Web\content\homemenu.xml'
Some error occured while processing documents:
Couldn't process Document 'C:\phcweb\Web\content\homemenu.xml'
Error on line 0 of XML document: File "homemain.xml" not found.

I've tried with full path and putting it here and there. I've also checked
the FAQs and lists but haven't solved the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Jesper

[XWeb-Users] New German mailing list

[Peter B. <pb...@me...>]

Hello everybody,

since I had a number of help and feature requests from German users and
German is my native language, I decided to offer a mailing list for
help, feature requests and general discussions in German. This is of
course meant only as addition, not as replacement for this list ;-)
