Say that you use relax ng, have the following def's in, say, eximple.rng:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<?context-block begin grammar ?>

<grammar xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0">

<?context-block end grammar ?>

<?context-block begin framework ?>

<start>
   <choice>
     <ref name="request"/>
     <ref name="reply"/>
   </choice>
</start>

<?context-block end framework ?>

.....

<?context-block begin grammar ?>

</grammar>

<?context-block end grammar ?>

then you can say:

\definefilesynonym [eximple] [eximple.rng]

and later on pick up the components:

\showRNGcomponent[eximple][framework]

saves you some work and make documentation in a separate file easier
