Hi Viktor,

the main problem would, howto get the external documents into my web?

<web>
 <menu>
  ...
 </menu>

The documents should go here!!!

</web>


The only thin I know is to use the ENTITY-tag. But this would force me
to make everything twice: declare an external file at the top of
MyWeb.xml, and reference it within the web (&myBookmargs; etc...).
