Hi Andrew,
You have two options: 1. entities 2. XInclude Note that these are not linked to DocBook, you can use them for any XML vocabulary.
1. You can declare an entity in your DTD or in the DTD internal subset like below
<!ENTITY book "Gone With the Wind">
and then use it in your document
I recently read &book;.
2. You can create a text file, let's say book.txt containing
Gone With the Wind
and then you use it in your document with
I recently read <xi:include href="book.txt" parse="text" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>.
If you declare the XInclude namespace on the document root xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" then you can write it like
I recently read <xi:include href="book.txt" parse="text"/>.

Hi,
Apologies if this is slightly off topic. I have a docbook question. Is there a way to define a variable in docbook and reference it in the text?
In latex I would do:
"\newcommand{\book}{Gone With the Wind}"
then in the text:
"I recently read \book."
which would render as
"I recently read Gone With the Wind."
I can't seem to find out if this is possible.
Thanks in advance.
Andrew
