C.6 Fallback Example

The following XML document relies on the fallback mechanism to succeed in the event that the resources example.txt and fallback-example.txt are not available..

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<div>
  <xi:include href="example.txt" parse="text" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
    <xi:fallback><xi:include href="fallback-example.txt" parse="text">
        <xi:fallback><a href="mailto:bob@example.org">Report error</a></xi:fallback>
      </xi:include></xi:fallback>
  </xi:include>
</div>

If neither example.txt nor fallback-example.txt are available, the infoset resulting from resolving inclusions on this document is the same (except for the include history and language properties) as that of the following document:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<div>
  <a href="mailto:bob@example.org">Report error</a>
</div>
