Re: (dsssl) Include some defines?

[Jens Poenninghaus <jpoennin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim,

give entities a chance :-)
The snipplets below should be possible solutions to your problem:


First, straight forward:
[code1.dsl]

<!DOCTYPE style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN" [
<!ENTITY extensions SYSTEM "extensions.dsssl">
]>

some bracketed stuff


%extensions;




second, more complicated but more flexible as well: 
 

[Code.dsl] 
---8<---8<---8<---
<!DOCTYPE style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN" [
<!ENTITY % Configuration SYSTEM "Configuration.dcl">
%Configuration;
 
]>     
<style-sheet>
<style-specification id="XY">
 
<style-specification-body>
&extensions.dsssl;
 
<![%CONDITIONAL;  [ 
 some stuff depending on value of CONDITIONAL

]]>
<![%notConditional; [
  'else' part of CONDITIONAL 


---8<---8<---8<--

[Configuration.dcl]
---8<---8<---8<--
<!ENTITY extensions.dsssl SYSTEM  "extensions.dsl" > 
<!ENTITY % CONDITIONAL "IGNORE">
<!ENTITY % notConditional "INCLUDE">
.
.
---8<---8<---8<--



Hope this help and have a nice, peaceful day!
