Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Including external XSL-FO in docbook document ?
I think I need to give more details: I have the sources of both documents (as written by me). One is a report in docbook, the other a resume using a modified xmlresume DTD. I need to include the resume in the docbook report. So these are not two docbook documents two combine, but docbook + another DTD. As both are using different DTDs, I couldn't think of a way to generate "one" document from a unified XML source. That's why I thought about merging the fo files or the final PDF files. Does that help ?
