I've attached a tool that excerpts schemas and examples into a XHTML spec. It actually contains two (proposal/implementation)s. The first (-r(egexp) is an implementation of a convention used by the XKMS editor (PHB) and uses <include> elements in the spec and xml comments in the external XML instances to demarcate the regions to excerpt. <include class="Code" source="Schemas/xkms.xsd" section="MessageAbstractType"></include> <!-- MessageAbstractType --> blah blah <!-- /MessageAbstractType --> The second (-x(ml) is my own approach and uses PIs with a XPtr. <?include class="Code" Source="Schemas/xkms.xsd#xpointer(//complexType[@name='RespondWith'])"?> Source files for the -r(egexp) source spec, schema and examples can be found in the zip from [1]. For example: aeon:XKMS> pin.py -m r part-1-source.html out.html [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xkms/2002Dec/0075 A dummy spec source file for the -x(ml) source spec is also attached, the schema and examples is the same as above. For example: aeon:XKMS> pin.py -m x test-xml-source.html out.html Pros/cons for the approaches follow. ''' Include external xml chunks into an XHTML file according two two different schemes: regexp: within an XHTML file <include> elements indicate tokens to be used with a regular expression to excerpt external XML found between comments tags. (Source document is invalid; easy to demarcate contiguous regions, fast.) xml: within an XHTML file <?pi?>'s specify an XPointer which indicates what XML to excerpt. (Source document is valid, requires no change to schema and examples, flexible expressions; slower (i.e. XPath), not all XPath/XPointer expressions are supported presently.) Usage: pin.py -m [r(egexp)|x(ml)] input output'''
