Hi I'm having trouble using xpointer with an xinclude.
Below is an extract of my xml file <?xml version="1.0"?> <card xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsl:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="shema.xsd" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";> ..... <xi:include href="control.xml" xpointer="element(/1/1)"/> ...... </card> control.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <root> <control> <id>8</id> <name>ValidHd</name> ...... </control> </root> and I validate it with xmllint --valid --xinclude --schema schema.xsd Xpointer.xml and that works fine. But when I change the xinclude to <xi:include href="control.xml" xpointer="xpointer(//control[../name = 'ValidHd'])"/> to try and include the control element by name so it's more robust I get the error message "Xpointer.xml:152: element include: Schemas validity error : Element '{http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude}include': This element is not expected. Expected is ( control ). Xpointer.xml fails to validate" And you can see in the output that it hasn't substituted any code in for the xinclude. What should I be doing? Is it possible to include elements like this? The name element is unique within the control.xml document, which is why I thought I would be able to include it this way. Thank you Stuart.
