Re: [docbook] inserting general entities

[Roger Meier <roger@bufferoverflow.ch>]

Hi René

just use a xinclude, that's simpler and has more style ;-)

use the following tag is your main document:
<xi:include href="bibliography.xml"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude";></xi:include>

now you must use the parameter --xinclude, if you use xsltproc.
if you use an other xslt-processors, have a look at the manual.
