The XHTML menu’s Preview option, when used with XInclude, creates the
preview in a temporary folder.
There are several problems with the way this currently (XMLmind 8.1) works:
1. The Preview function doesn’t manage to calculate correct URLs. For
instance, on my Mac, the @src <script> of <img> is miscalculated.
2. Previously, I requested a way to see the concatenated
XInclude-glued-together file, and we agree that the Preview function
could play that role. However, due to the miscalculation (which
might be a new bug - I do not seem to remember that it used to work
like that), it is cumbersome to use the Preview function as one
must, oneself, manually replace all the URLs with the correct URLs,
in order to actually get a good preview.
3. Even if the URLs had been correct (which would have solved
previewing problems, of course!), one would still need to correct
the URLs to the "real" URLs if one plans to store and reuse the
result file.
As it is (with uncorrect URLs being generated), it would be better if
the Preview function left the URLs of @src untouched - when I move the
concatenated file to the correct folder (my project folder), the URLs
will become correct anyway.
Ideally, the preview file would be generated in the working folder - or
in a folder inside the working folder. Perhaps users could even be
permitted to specify the preview folder. Then it would also be much
simpler for XMLmind to get the URLs right.
The "Preview" feature
(http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/xhtml/menu.html) has a
bug related to XInclude.
The bug is that XXE does not generate xml:base attributes in the Preview
temporary file.
Example: when blockquote id="b1" found in
"/home/hussein/tmp/sub/included.html":
---

is included in "/home/hussein/tmp/includer.html":

The "file:///tmp/includer830428998796485209.html" preview is:
---
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Tests inclusion</title>
</head>

src="icon32x32.png" /> This <code><blockquote></code> has been
included from <code>sub/included.html</code>.</p></blockquote></body>
</html>

it should be:
---
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Tests inclusion</title>
</head>
<body><p>Tests inclusion.</p><blockquote id="b1"
xml:base="file:/home/hussein/tmp/sub/included.html"
><p><img
src="icon32x32.png" /> This <code><blockquote></code> has been
included from <code>sub/included.html</code>.</p></blockquote></body>
</html>

This being said, I'm not sure web browsers really support xml:base
(https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/dom.html#the-xmlbase-attribute-xml-only).
We'll check this before making any change to our code.
