Thanks very much for your reply - I didn't know about this add-on.
However, my problem isn't really to do with how to edit xinclude
elements, more to do with how XXE handles them - I think I wasn't very
clear.
Suppose I have an XML file, foo.xml, containing
<foo/>
that I want to include in my document as an example. I edit my document
(using an external text editor, say) so that it contains:
<programlisting>
<xi:include href="foo.xml" parse="text"/>
</programlisting>
When I next open the document in XXE, I get a warning telling me that my
document contains an unmanaged inclusion that will be absorbed into the
document. The file content is rendered the way I want, it's just not an
inclusion any more.
What I'm looking for is a workaround that will let me include code
examples in my documents in a managed way.
Incidentally, I would also like to know what the regression you mention
above will be (I don't want to rely on functionality that is going to
disappear...)
Thanks very much for you help and for your answer to my other recent query.
