Re: [xml] Information about "xincluded" documents in XML tree?

[Petr Pajas <pajas ufal ms mff cuni cz>]

Johann,

sorry, when replying, I overlooked that your original post was to the
libxml2 list.  Seeing LibXML in your text I thought you were talking
about XML::LibXML, a Perl wrapper of libxml2. My reply may therefore
be misleading.
