RE: [docbook-apps] profiling and entities

[Webmaster <Webmaster@comtrol.com>]

Hi Bob.

That's what I'm thinking... I'm using the profiling\profile.xsl. I'm trying
to locate the template that it is uses to copy the elements over to the
profiled xml document. It seems to me, that if I make template similar to
what is used in graphics.xsl and "trap" imagedata - I'll can rewrite the
entityrefs into fileref. That should work right?

Or am I dreaming?

Oh my, now I see what the problem is.  Your entity declarations 
don't survive the initial transform, so the entityref attributes 
become invalid.

I'm not sure how to fix that.  Entity declarations in an internal 
subset cannot be read and output by XSLT.

It would seem the profiling stylesheet should process the 
entityref attributes and convert them into fileref attributes 
using the unparsed-entity-uri() function in XSLT.
