62 <para>The top-level XML build file (<filename>ReactOS.xml</filename>) is

91 <title>XInclude</title>
92
93 <para>XML files used by <command>rbuild</command> are modular and use
94 XInclude to include other chunks of XML in the top-level
95 <filename>ReactOS.xml</filename> file. The namespace used by XInclude is
96 <literal>xi</literal>.</para>

99 <title>xi:include</title>

101 <para>It is possible to split an XML build file over several files.
102 The include element in the <literal>xi</literal> namespace is used to
103 accomplish this.</para>
