In XML specs (like SGML features), they talk about entities inclusions in
a document... Something like:
<!DOCTYPE book [
<!ELEMENT book (#PCDATA) >
<!ENTITY including SYSTEM "http://server1.com/index.txt">
]>
<book>
&including;
</book>
Okay,they say that with XML-SGML a document can be built with document-part-
included using entities facilities.
HTML doesn't make use of external entities but it can do inline image through
some tag... In XML specs i doesn't see any reference to TAG or special attri-
butes that can handle inclusion of document component (text,image,object).
I would like to know :
- if in the future, we 'll only use external entities to include a
document component ?
- anyelse, does XML will support special attributes for Tag to specify
that this Tag with this attributes can include something?
- or does this feature will be hardcoded in a browser, making the same
mistake than HTML?
Thanks.
