Command/xmlinclude

\xmlinclude

Syntax

\xmlinclude{...}{...}{...}
{...}	xmldata, usually main
{...}	pattern that matches tags that stand for 'include external file'. Default: include
{...}	names of attribute containing URL of file to include, separated by pipes. Default: href

Description

\xmlinclude{main}{include}{filename|href|name} merges XML trees in external files into the tree called main. External files are merged in at every include tag; which file to merge in is determined by looking at the filename attribute; if that is absent the href and name attributes are tried in order.

Further behaviour:

• If no attribute is specified, href is assumed.
• If the file is empty or not found, the inclusion tag is replaced with nothing.
• Inclusion is recursive: if the tree you merge in itself contains inclusion tags, they are acted on, too.

Example

<example>
  <chapter>text 1</chapter>
