If you just want to ``see'' the xi:include details, please select "View|Show info about included elements". For your parse="text" problem, see below. > > Since the referenced file is not proper XML it cannot be inserted as > reference > from within the editor either (editor->reference). > > Is there any way to manage this from within the editor way ? (or perhaps some > workaround) There is currently no easy-to-use facility to do this. We could add one in the future if there is sufficient demand. The workaround is: [1] Insert a reference to an element into the programlisting (anything will do: it is just a placeholder). [2] Select the included element and use "Edit|Reference|Untransclude Reference" (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/editMenu.html#referenceMenu). By doing this you'll replace the included placeholder element by the corresponding xi:include. [3] Use the attribute tool to add the proper href and parse="text" attributes to the xi:include element. [4] Finally use "Edit|Reference|Retransclude Reference" (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/editMenu.html#referenceMenu) to replace the xi:include element by the included text. > > (I guess I could create some custom code in the programlisting tag that gets > replaced in a post-processing step to the necessary <xi:include> tag.) > See also DocBook elements textobject/textdata (http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/textobject.html) which are an alternative to xi:include parse="text"
