Serna does XIncludes too. They are
formatted in the flow, and are saved out as the separate files when you save the
including file.

I'm using xincludes with docbook on oxygen nested 4 deep. Works
fine, both xhtml and fo.

I use a lot of xincludes to
insert dynamic content into out articles... do most/any of these
applications support xincludes?

I found
that VeX works good for me - but I have never created a
document in it -
I have used it for editing a document that is already
well formed and
validated -

You might at least give XXE a try. It comes with a nice
Docbook
application, can be customized rather easily, has outstanding
support,
and can be used for free with some restrictions. It is used by
lots of
people that couldn't care less about
XML.

BTW, the biggest
problem with Word is usually 40 (16") cm in front of
the display. Word
can be OK as a content creation tool. And a structured
editing
environment can be a booster or a bane to content
creation
productivity.
Many Word users behave as if Word was
merely an electronic typewriter.
And so what? Maybe they are more
productive that way. If they can't
follow editorial guidelines while
using Word, that won't automatically
change when they use a structured
environment. If they can, Word is not
a problem (for small documents with
no or few illustrations).
Me, I like editing in emacs, jEdit,
oXygenXML, XXE, Epic Editor,
FrameMaker and (gasp!) Word or OpenOffice.
I'll usually start entering
text in stream-of consciousness mode, and
apply structure later on. I'll
also usually have some requirements, ways
of testing that I have
fulfilled the requirements, and a plan. But the
structure is not a
purpose by itself.
Why not emulate an
electronic typewriter with an XML application? XHTML
is a perfect
starting point. Even the most stubborn editor know HTML.
XHTML can be
authored with Word as well as any structured environment.
Why
alienate and bother content creators with a steep learning curve?
Editors
will begin to see the light when they experience
real
advantages.
Kind regards
Peter Ring
