    <para>The textinsert extension element inserts the contents of
      a file into the result tree (as text).</para>
    <note>
      <para>To use the textinsert extension element, you must use
        either Saxon or Xalan as your XSLT processor (it doesn’t
        work with xsltproc), along with either the DocBook Saxon
        extensions or DocBook Xalan extensions (for more
        information about those extensions, see <link
          role="tcg" xlink:href="InstallingAProcessor.html#SaxonExtensions"
          >DocBook Saxon Extensions</link> and <link
          role="tcg" xlink:href="InstallingAProcessor.html#XalanExtensions"
          >DocBook Xalan Extensions</link>), and you must set both
        the <parameter>use.extensions</parameter> and
        <parameter>textinsert.extension</parameter> parameters to
        <literal>1</literal>.</para>
      <para>As an alternative to using the textinsert element,
        consider using an Xinclude element with the
        <literal>parse="text"</literal> attribute and value
        specified, as detailed in <link
          role="tcg" xlink:href="ExternalCode.html#XIncludeCode"
          >Using XInclude for text inclusions</link>.</para>

    <para>You can also use the <tag
        class="xmlpi">dbhtml-include href</tag> processing
      instruction to insert external files — both files containing
      plain text and files with markup content (including HTML
      content).</para>
