Hi Dave !
Thx for your quick reply.
Yes i think this could help, but there is one problem.
My customer name is saved in a .propertie file externally.
In my documentation for example i have a file
- index.xml
- chapter1.xml
- chapter2.xml ... and so on
When i now want to use &customer_name in chapter1.xml i must define the
<!ENTITY customer_name "Loves My Product"> in the header of my
chapter1.xml , am I right ?
If it is so, there is my problem. The .properties file where the
customer name is stored is generated right before i convert my docbook
files.
And so, the line <!ENTITY customer_name "customer name from .propertie
file"> has to be generated in a certain way.
Do you know what i mean ?
And so my question is how to do such things in docbook ?
Thanks for your help !
