Am having difficulty with the "include" statement in my schema definition
file.

First I created the schema using xmlspy. I then manually edited the .xsd
file and added a line with "&" and the included file (see below).
=================
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://enw-ltd.com/namespace"
xmlns="http://enw-ltd.com/namespace"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
  &trisection.xsd;
  <xs:element name="foo">
  <etc....>
</xs:schema>
=================
When I then opened the file in xmlspy, the error sais "unable to show
schema: Text is unexpected at this location!", and the reference to the
include statement is highlighted.

Any ideas appreciated.

jwc

Yes,  This is how I did it.  I have a file called docroot.dtd like this

<!ELEMENT docroot (#PCDATA)>
<!ENTITY doc1 SYSTEM "foo.xml">
<!ENTITY doc2 SYSTEM "bar.xml">


I have an xml file called docroot.xml


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE docroot SYSTEM "docroot.dtd">
<docroot>
&doc1;
&doc2;
</docroot>


The & is the include statement that refers to the entities defined in
the DTD.  I think there may be a way to do this with XSD stylesheets as
well.  I think that is the preferred way nowadays as dtds are considered
antiquated.  Still this method does work.
