[jira] Commented: (DBF-10) Support for xi:include

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBF-10?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12884634#action_12884634 ] 

chris snow commented on DBF-10:
-------------------------------

I agree with Steve - ot being able to modularise your documentation makes this project only suitable for small documentation efforts.

By the way, there are some xinclude instructions on http://www.devx.com/Java/Article/35301/1954

>             Project: DocBook Framework
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 1.0

> I have the following use-case: I created a software-guide with docbook and in the appendix I need to include a long license text. I have the license text in another docbook-file. It's possible that the license text needs to be referenced in several documents. As I don't want to copy & paste the license text in the main document, I tried to include it by using the xi:include mechanism. At the end of the docbook (but before the </book> tag of course), I inserted the following line:
> <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="license.xml" />
> After including the license text with xi:include, I started the ant-build to create html and pdf-documents. But the content of the included docbook-file isn't included in the html-output and the pdf-file wasn't created at all.
> The message on the console at the pdf-target is:
> [java] xi:include encountered in book, but no template matches.
> And at the html-target:
> [java] No template matches xi:include in book.
> I suggest that DBF should support xi:include, because in my opinion it's an important feature for creating modular documents.
> Kind regards
> Steve
