generated from an Adobe FrameMaker book. It
creates multiple XML files and refers to them with entities in the
main XML file. Is there an XSLT 3 mechanism for combining everything
into a single XML document? Any pointers would be appreciated.
As Michael describes, this is the job of a parser.
The old osgmlnorm utility (part of the opensp package) does exactly
this. Assuming your file is called main.xml, you can type
$ osgmlnorm -wxml sgmlxml.dec main.xml
The -wxml switches from SGML to XML, and you will need a copy of the
SGML Declaration for XML (there's a copy at
http://xml.silmaril.ie/downloads/sgmlxml.dec if you can't find one
elsewhere).
This will write to standard output, so you can redirect it into a file
or a subsequent process.
Downside: it IS a normalizer, so all REQUIRED attributes will be
included, but the output will be a single XML file.
