[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] [no subject]I would suggest that in contexts where DTDs are currently used that RELAX NG would always be the better solution given appropriate infrastructure but that infrastructure is only just now coming to fruition (the DITA community in particular has pushed forward more complete implementation of the RELAX NG DTD compatibility features, mostly through the efforts of George Bina, because DITA depends on defaulted attributes and XSD 1.0 simply doesn't work for DITA (and XSD 1.1 is not widely enough implemented)).

Our address, the URL to our main library catalog change, the URL to our dept home page, etc. are subject to change on a regular basis. Having them as entities referenced from our finding aids, rather than hard-coded into each file, means that when there is a change we only have to update one small XML snippet rather than 3000+ XML files.

It's something I fought for at the time and now regret every time it comes up. The XML community has been wise in forgetting that text entities were ever a feature.

It can't be done with any version of standard XSLT, except by generating the DTD "by hand" using disable-output-escaping.
