Hi,
I am a user of Altova XML Spy and recently started to look into XInclude. I made some demo xml files to see its usage. But I was only able to use the element() in xpointer. I am wondering whether XInclude is fully supported or not ?

I posted a question on stackoverflow with more details.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32097956/xmlspy-xpointer-to-access-all-child-elements

In nutshell, I was only able to do
<xi:include href="External.xml" xpointer="element(/1/1)"/>

but If I try to do the following it throws an error. I just want to select all the tags using *.
<xi:include href="External.xml" xpointer="element(/1/*)"/>

Since this was not working, I started to look into xpointer tag which supports XPath. But unfortunately it throws an error which is probably because of the lack of support in XMLSpy.
<xi:include href="External.xml" xpointer="xpointer(/ExternalTag/*)"/>

Can you please guide me how to achieve this in XMLSpy ?

On a side note, what parser XMLSpy is using internally ?

Regards,
Behroz

The xpointer scheme is not presently supported. You should submit a feature request via Altova's Support Center.
