C.5 Range Inclusion Example

The following illustrates the results of including a range specified by an XPointer. Assume the base URI of the document is http://www.example.com/document.xml.

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<document>
  <p>The relevant excerpt is:</p>
  <quotation>
    <include xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
       href="source.xml" xpointer="xpointer(string-range(chapter/p[1],'Sentence 2')/
             range-to(string-range(/chapter/p[2]/i,'3.',1,2)))"/>
  </quotation>
</document>

source.xml contains:

<chapter>
  <p>Sentence 1.  Sentence 2.</p>
  <p><i>Sentence 3.  Sentence 4.</i>  Sentence 5.</p>
</chapter>

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'?>
<document>
  <p>The relevant excerpt is:</p>
  <quotation>
    <p xml:base="http://www.example.com/source.xml">Sentence 2.</p>
  <p xml:base="http://www.example.com/source.xml"><i>Sentence 3.</i></p>
  </quotation>
</document>
