XInclude

Adds the XInclude mechanism to the BITS Tag Set, so that books and book parts can be managed as separate files and “included” as needed into a final document.

Remarks

For detains concerning the use of XInclude, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/.
The optional <xi:fallback> child can be used to specify alternative content when the resource to be included was not found.
