DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: XIncludes

[Stefan Bylund <steby at enea dot se>]

Hi Damian,

I first tried xincluder but I soon found out that xmllint is more fully
featured. I use the following command to resolve all xincludes before invoking
the XSLT processor (Saxon):

xmllint --xinclude --catalogs document.xml > resolved.xml

Note that xmllint uses the SGML_CATALOG_FILES environment variable to find the
catalog(s).

The xmllint tool is part of libxml2 which is located at http://xmlsoft.org/. It
is also a very good validating XML parser; I use it the following way:

xmllint --xinclude --postvalid --noout --catalogs document.xml

/Stefan

I use xerces/xalan/fop and I believe Xerces doesn't handle XIncludes at this

I looked at http://xincluder.sourceforge.net, would this be the way to go?
