When will enternal entities and XInclude be supported

Hi,
I notice at http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/features.html#planned you plan to 
support external entities and XInclude.
When do you plan to support this functionality, and
Do you expect these features will be available in the standard edition?

We are writing a Generic Software Developers Guide for Open Source projects 
using entities and XInclude, and would like to encourage authors to use XXE.

We are currently working on this feature. It will be available in XXE
V2.4 which we plan to release before August 15.

Great, have you decided whether this functionality is part of the standard 
release?

Possible bug?

Hi,

I'm using XXE with DocBook and can't insert the caption element inside a mediaobject element. I suppose
this is a bug.

Another question:
When I insert an element at the end of a sentence, i.e. there are no whitespaces after, then I'm not able to
continue writing after the element since there are no continuence on the text entry. I have to undo my
element insertion, then press an extra SPACE, then go back a step and then insert the element. Does it exist
a faster way to do things?

Best regards,

/Kenneth

Several small glitches with XXE.

Hello Hussein and all.

We've been using XXE Pro quite extensively here in the last weeks and we 
found some small "glitches", so I will enumerate them for you:

- ********************************************************************
- We have a date-field in a CSS, defined as follows, and we found that 
sometimes a valid date doesn't get internally converted into an ISO date 
as it should upon leaving the field. The probability of this happening 
seems to be higher if you edit (type) very fast... Then there is a 
validation error, of course, though the date may look like a perfectly 
valid one, which utterly puzzles the users.

CSS:
pr|estimation {
     content: paragraph(content(date-field(columns, 10,
					  pattern, "dd/MM/yyyy",
	                                  background-color, #ffffe0,
                                           color, black),
                                " (dd/mm/yyyy): "));
}

Schema:
  <xs:complexType name="ReadyBy">
     <xs:sequence>
       <xs:element name="estimation" type="xs:date" 
maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="1" ></xs:element>
     </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>

Inserting a graphic


I'm trying to insert a graphic between some text. The problem is that I
want the first line of text on line one, the graphic on line two, and the
third line of text on line three. What I'm getting is the first line of
text on line one and the graphic and third line of text on line two. How
can I fix this so that the third line of text displays on line three?

Good question :-) Multi-file documents support based on external entity
references will be part of XXE Standard Edition. The XInclude processor
will be available only in XXE Professional Edition.

In practice, this means that the casual DocBook or XHTML author will be
able to create multi-file documents using XXE for free.

It is probably a shortcoming of current DocBook CSS style sheet. DocBook
CSS style sheet has completely been rewritten and will be available in
next XXE release.

Note that using current XXE, you can certainly insert a caption inside a
mediaobject element using the tree view: select last xxobject child of
the mediaobject and 'Insert After' it the caption element.

Sure. Press key 'Insert' of your keypad. This will 'Insert After' a text
node after current element.

This trick and also other useful things are described in
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/user/userguide4.html#id.s4

Note that even if the 'Insert' key didn't exist, the right way to do
what you want is simply 'Insert after' current element a text node (see
big 'Text' button at the bottom of the Edit tool tab).
