Geert Docbook has a mechanism for including other xlm files either by declaring an ENTITY which maps on to the filename containing the snippet xml code. You can then use &<entity-name> to include the file contents at any point. You can also construct "header files" which contain the entity definitions which can be included in files as required. There is another mechanism using XInclude which apparently has some more desirable traits. I found a Stack exchange post/article on it today which extolled the virtues of usng Xinclude. I'll find it again and post a link.
The current source files could be easily merged into the one document as each file in the two documents has an entity declared. By moving the entity declarations from the Guide to the Help manual and similarly moving the &entity-name> lines in the gnucash-guide.xml into the gnucash-help.xml file then moving the Guide source files in with the Help source files, they would become one document (needing some major rearrangement of course). An initial rearrangement looks possible by just rearranging the order of the &<entity-name> statements. At the moment each file is a chapter and is imported by the above statements. A full rearrangement would require breaking the chapters down into snippets and then including them where required or in some cases just providing a link back to where the snippet is first included.
