[oXygen-user] Following links through xinclude in docbook

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

It is a known limitation. When you edit a child document the link does 
not jump to other child document or to the master one because there is 
no connection configured in Oxygen between the edited child document and 
the target of the link. There is a connection mechanism that could be 
used and that we plan to use in a future version of Author for this kind 
of jump across child documents: a validation scenario that specifies the 
master document as the starting point for the validation of the current 
child document. Connecting the child document with the master document 
provides the context necessary for the identification of the target of 
the link.

If you don't know how a validation scenario works you can watch a 
dedicated video demonstration on the website and you can read about it 
in the user manual:

Regards,
Sorin
