Here's something the PHP-Nuke folks did for their document, which is
quite similar. It was processed w/Jade/DSSSL, but it is indeed XML.
This was used to trigger which version of a graphic to use.
At the entity declaration area, they had:
<!ENTITY % output.print.png "INCLUDE">
<!ENTITY % output.print.pdf "IGNORE">
<!ENTITY % output.print.eps "IGNORE">
I was informed to set the value "INCLUDE" to the type of
graphic I wanted to use during processing. as you can see in
this example, output.print.png has been changed to INCLUDE
(from IGNORE).
Within the text:
<mediaobject>
<![ %output.print.png; [
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="./images/&graph1001;.png" format="PNG">
</imageobject>
]]>
<![ %output.print.pdf; [
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="&graph1001;.pdf" format="PDF" scale="65">
</imageobject>
]]>
...
</mediaobject>
So you can get an idea on how this works. Yes, the source file
must be tweaked in this example, but I could see you having=
something like:
<!ENTITY % draft "INCLUDE">
...
<![ %draft; [
<para>
Since this document is not even started yet, you should not even be
able to read this. At least, in theory.
</para>
]]>
which in this case would cause the text to be displayed. If you
do not want it to show up, set INCLUDE -> IGNORE.
Is that what you're looking for?
