  • 1.  XInclude with xpointer and ID

    Posted 02-06-2013 19:41
    Hi all,

    I was trying to make a modular document with XIncludes using xpointer.
    I would like to use them with the ID that tags are assigned. Like so

    some doc:
    ...


    ...

    ...

    some other doc:

    ...
    <xi:include href="../../antica/antica-iwrs-procs-admin/antica_admin.xml"
    xpointer="element(reqs)"/>
    ...

    But this scheme is not working for me. Not in xsltproc neither in fop.

    if I use xpointer="element(/1/6)" , for example, it does work

    but that means that i cannot add an element (say a paragraph) before the
    included elements, because that would mean that the numbering changes

    what is wrong with my scheme?

    i've searched lots of sites but i haven't found a similar problem, besides
    some people that wasn't defining their DTD right

    btw, I'm using docbook version 5 and my docbook headers look like this



    %HashEnts;
    ]>
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
    xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
    xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"
    xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook">

    where i add a DOCTYPE element because I need to use some entities file
    defined somewhere else
    of course the ones belonging to the included parts are of type section :)

    If someone of you could tell me the mistake im committing if any, it would
    be very useful

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Simon!

    That worked perfect with xsltproc, but fop keeps on complaining...

    "Include operation failed, reverting to fallback. Resource error reading
    file as XML (href='../../.../antica_admin.xml'). Reason: XPointer
    resolution unsuccessful.2"

    at least version 1.0

    i'll try to install the newest version and try again

    thanks a lot for your reply

    Hi Cristobal!

    Please, note, that FOP is mostly XSL:FO processor (.fo > .pdf or .fo > .ps) - not an XSLT processor (.xml > .fo). Of course, it has XML-XSLT generation capabilities (as a nice bonus), but rather than do a transformation by itself it relies on Xalan that is supplied with FOP (look at /lib catalog of FOP distro). So, you question is more concerns XSLT-processor (Xalan), but not FOP itself. Please, try to search in Xalan docs for capabilities you required. Or you can use double step transform: get .fo file by xsltproc and .pdf (or other print related formats) by FOP.

    IIRC Xalan requires that you include the schema definition in the
    document's header for xml:id resolution to work.

    Thanks Eduard and Eric!

    The processing with xsltproc->fop works just fine.
    Although the file references in the resulting fo file (for media objects at
    least) are relative to the xml processed file (input) so i would have to
    descend to the dir containing it in order to issue the fop command, but
    that is a minor issue

    Anyways, it would be nice if I could get rid of it by using the namespace
    definition in fop as suggested by Eric
    But, Im not familiar with namespaces and schemas...
    in order to do so i'm almost sure I need

    1) A line with the following content, probably in the opening of the tag
    article (or section)

    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

    2) Another line like this one or similar, but I can't figure out where to
    put it

    <xs:attribute name="xml:id" type="xs:ID"/>

    could you please help with that?

    My apologies for a possibly trivial question
    Thanks in advance,

    Cristóbal
