Storing character map of XSL in separate file

I am using XSLT 2.0 to convert one XML file into another. I need to preserve the entity references in the output XML so I am using the xsl: character-map with xsl: output. I want to store the character map in a separate file, so that the client may be able to modify or add new entities as per his requirements. The issue is that I don't understand how to call this external character map in the xsl: output use-character-maps attribute? Please help, this is very urgent. Thanks

You can put the xsl:character-map in a stylesheet module of its own, and use xsl:include to include that module in the usual way. If you want to provide a simpler syntax for your client to maintain the map, then it's easy enough to generate the module containing the character map in XSLT syntax from some other XML format that you find more convenient.

Thanks mhkay, I was forgetting the use of xsl:import.
