Kristin,
Use the source...:) The LAG itself is built around this, and I'm
using this feature elsewhere.
Here's the quick idea. This *should* be the same if you're using XML or SGML.
1) Set ENTITY declarations in the main file:
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC '-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN' [
<!ENTITY chap1 SYSTEM "chap1.xml">
<!ENTITY chap2 SYSTEM "chap2.xml">
<!ENTITY chap3 SYSTEM "chap3.xml">
]>
2) In the main file, include references to the entities you've created:
<book id="foo">
[author stuff]
[revision stuff]
&chap1;
&chap2;
&chap3;
</book>
3) In each chap?.xml file, write it as if it were a chapter:
<chapter id="chapter1">
<title>foo</title>
<para>
</para>
</chapter>
...And that's it.
