Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] How to insert "placeholder" in my documentation
Hi Dave ! Thx for your quick reply. Yes i think this could help, but there is one problem. My customer name is saved in a .propertie file externally. In my documentation for example i have a file - index.xml - chapter1.xml - chapter2.xml ... and so on When i now want to use &customer_name in chapter1.xml i must define the <!ENTITY customer_name "Loves My Product"> in the header of my chapter1.xml , am I right ? If it is so, there is my problem. The .properties file where the customer name is stored is generated right before i convert my docbook files. And so, the line <!ENTITY customer_name "customer name from .propertie file"> has to be generated in a certain way. Do you know what i mean ? And so my question is how to do such things in docbook ? Thanks for your help ! ~manuel Dave Cushman wrote: > Manuel, > > It sounds like you are trying to include entities.
