I hope, XML >didn't drop this feature. Youch! RCDATA is not part of the XML spec. (Sorry, I realize that my first message failed to specify that I was using the XML version of DocBook, not SGML.) Looks like the closest thing available to me in XML is an unparsed external entity. However, the XML spec says that unparsed entities may only be referred to in attribute values declared to be of type ENTITY or ENTITIES. This means that I would need to have some direct support from the DocBook DTD for embedding external source code in a <programlisting> element. The <programlisting> element does not seem to have any attributes of type ENTITY. It would be nice to have something like: <programlisting src="Tutorial1.java"/> Then it would be up to the stylesheet to interpret the (possibly relative) URL, and figure out what to do with it. If I remember correctly, however, having an XSL stylesheet include the contents of another document inside the result tree is not a standard feature of XSL (it may be supported by XT). If the stylesheet did include the external document, it would need to escape it into well-formed XML on the way in. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dave Makower <davemak@iclick.com> | | Manager of Portal Architecture & Development | +--------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | iClick, Inc. | (914) 872-8030 | | 120 Bloomingdale Road | (914) 872-8100 fax | | 3rd Floor | (914) 872-8000 main | | White Plains, NY 10605 | http://www.iclick.com/ | +--------------------------------+----------------------------------+
