DOCBOOK-APPS: Two small questions (I hope)

[Mário Filipe <mjnf@uevora.pt>]

Hello

First of all defining my environment:

	docbook: 4.2
	xsl stylesheets: 1.60.1
	Gnu Debian Linux (testing)
	fop 0.20.5rc2
	xsltproc: 1.0.21

First Question: When i was using docbook + dsssl, i used thumbpdf to
generate thumbnails. Is it possible to do the same with the tools I'm
using now? If not, is it possible to do with any tools available to
process docbook with xsl?

Second Question: I believe this is basic but here goes: I want to
produce weekly reports that include MRTG like graphs. I have a script
that gets the graphs and generates the "involving" docbook xml so that
they can be placed in the report. Is there a way to "include" this
"wrappers" in the main report file?

When using dsssl i used to do something like:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
          "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"[
<!ENTITY chap1 SYSTEM "capitulo1.xml">
<!ENTITY chap2 SYSTEM "capitulo2.xml">
<!ENTITY chap3 SYSTEM "capitulo3.xml">
<!ENTITY chap4 SYSTEM "capitulo4.xml">
]>

and then i used the entities &chap1;, etc wherever i wanted them. When i
switched to xsl i was no longer able to do this! Is it possible? How?
With wich tools?

Thanks
