Re: [relax-ng-comment] parameterized element definition

[James Clark <jjc@jclark.com>]

The only way to do this at the moment is to use multiple files.  Create a
file "param.rnc" with (in compact syntax):

ParamDataType = element value { SubDataType }

Then do this:

TextData = text
IntData = xsd:int
mystring = grammar { include "param.rnc" SubDataType = parent TextData }
mynumber = grammar { include "param.rnc" SubDataType = parent IntData }
