Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Using entities (or DSSSL) to INCLUDE / IGNORE text

[Norman Walsh <ndw at nwalsh dot com>]

/ Jorge Godoy <godoy@conectiva.com> was heard to say:

You could write a custom driver that defined them as IGNORE and then
included the original version. Also, for mutually exclusive PEs, I
do something like this:

<!ENTITY % print "IGNORE">
<![%print;[
<!ENTITY % online "IGNORE">
]]>
<!ENTITY % online "INCLUDE">

This makes the value of online 'INCLUDE' by default but 'IGNORE' if
print is 'INCLUDE'.
