Can we import instrument-specific XML attributes file?

[prjemian]

We want a main attributes file that imports from a detector-specific file. Is this possible now? What work would it take to add it?

[EmilioPeJu]

Do you mean if including another file is supported?

[prjemian]

Yes, where the main attributes file imports another attributes file specific to that detector.

@prjemian what is the syntax for that? Are there any examples in AdSimDetector or elsewhere?

We handle this by using an external script that builds multiple XML files, each one for a different detector.

Although, there seems to be built-in XML support for this:
