Re: Importing multiple XML files into one XML file

> Well I have been trying this (assuming it is possible!)

It's not possible, an XML document can only have one <!DOCTYPE
declaration, and it has to be before the first element, consequently you
can not use a file that contains such a declaration as an external
parsed entity to be included into another document.

I wouldn't use entities for this: instead of getting the XML parser to
do the inclusions, get teh XSLT system to do them.


instead of

<!DOCTYPE EMPLOYEES
[
<!ENTITY dob-stuff SYSTEM "dob.xml">
]>
<EMPLOYEE>
   <NAME>Jo Blogs</NAME>
   &dob-stuff;
</EMPLOYEE>

do


<EMPLOYEE>
   <NAME>Jo Blogs</NAME>
   <include href="dob.xml"/>
</EMPLOYEE>


and then have a template something like

<xsl:template match="include">
 <xsl;apply-templates select="document(@href)/*"/>
</xsl:template>
