Re: [docbook] Re: db5.0b3 xi:xinclude in info element

Hi Martin,

The problem in your case is that the author element that you include is 
in no namespace and author in no namespace is not allowed inside info 
from the http://docbook.org/ns/docbook namespace. Probably you have the 
DocBook namespace defined as default namespace and thus it is very easy 
to get into this problem. Try adding 
xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; in the document you include to 
place that in the DocBook namespace and everything should work.

When oXygen validates DocBook against Relag NG and you enable the 
XInclude processing then it validates the content after expanding the 
XInclude elements. If you disable the XInclude processing then oXygen 
will validate the content of only that file, without expanding the 
XInclude elements.

Below you can find a valid DocBook sample that includes an author 
element with XInclude:

test.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";>
   <info>
     <title></title>
     <xi:include href="author.xml" 
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>
   </info>
   <article>
     <title>Test</title>
     <para>test</para>
   </article>
</book>

author.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<author xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";>
   <personname>George Bina</personname>
</author>

Best Regards,
George
