TEIC/CETEIcean

CETEIcean does not follow <xi:include/> entries

I have a main TEI document containing several <xi:include /> entries such as:

...
<text xml:lang="es">
  <body>
    <xi:include href="abbr.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" xpointer="smabbr" parse="xml" />
    ...
  </body>
</text>
...

However, CETEIcean doesn't parse these files.
(When I directly transform the document with XSLT, everything looks fine, though.(

Is there any way of fixing this?

Hello, there is currently no support for XInclude. Typically, I resolve the XIncludes with custom JavaScript code before passing the document to CETEIcean. This way, you can have full control of resolving URIs (e.g. CETEIcean, from the browser, may not truly be able to always know where abbr.xml is). It may be possible to write a custom CETEIcean behavior to support this, too.

The easiest solution, however, would be resolving XIncludes before rendering the document with CETEIcean.
