Subject: Re: [docbook] XInclude problem


Thanks, Ranup.

Ok, I understand the point. However, is there any method to include a 
section (or any other logically correct element) in the logically 
correct place in the master document. I don't want to mix inclusions by 
entities and xinclude in one document since it may be difficult to 
maintain.\
