Never thought about this before, but here's what I'd try (maybe 
somebody else has a better suggestion...):

An XML doc like this, let's call it "page.jx"

	<content>
		<xi:include parse="text" href="$source" />
	</content>

Then in yer pipeline:

	.
	.
	.
	<map:generate type="jx" src="page.jx">
		<map:parameter name="source" value="(whatever)" />
	</map:generate>
	<map:transform type=xinclude" />
	<map:call resource="to-html" />	<!-- whatever -->

Lotsa luck,

I tried this, but as sooon as  the file goes into this "xml-based" pipline, all returns and white spaces disapear, the file turns into a huge string...

    Is there any kind of generator, reader or action can do this?
