[relaxng-user] Relax NG compact syntax and entities

[Alessandro Di Bella]

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.

Based on what's written on the Relax NG tutorial Appendix A,
"RELAX NG does not support features of XML DTDs that involve changing the 
infoset of an XML document. In particular, RELAX NG [...] does not allow 
entities to be specified".

The example i showed in my previous email uses parameterised entities that are 
provided by the internal DTD. In my opinion the trick works because the 
schema is an XML document and not because it is a Relax NG grammar.

Moreover, as far as I know,  the "include" directive allows only other 
external Relax NG grammars to be included and not DTD.

Am I misinterpreting your answer?
