24       <para>To use the textinsert extension element, you must use
25         either Saxon or Xalan as your XSLT processor (it doesn’t
26         work with xsltproc), along with either the DocBook Saxon
27         extensions or DocBook Xalan extensions (for more
28         information about those extensions, see <link
29           role="tcg" xlink:href="InstallingAProcessor.html#SaxonExtensions"

31           role="tcg" xlink:href="InstallingAProcessor.html#XalanExtensions"
32           >DocBook Xalan Extensions</link>), and you must set both
33         the <parameter>use.extensions</parameter> and
34         <parameter>textinsert.extension</parameter> parameters to
35         <literal>1</literal>.</para>
36       <para>As an alternative to using the textinsert element,
37         consider using an Xinclude element with the

39         specified, as detailed in <link
