[oXygen-user] Outline view again

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi all,

These are interesting ideas to explore...

What I am thinking, for the document outliner is to generalize the DITA 
Maps Manager view that we currently provide for DITA to handle also the 
new DocBook assemblies and maybe other type of "maps". Such a side view 
may support loading also normal DocBook documents and present a high 
level outline, possibly handling external entities or XInclude elements 
that may be used for modularization.

Best Regards,
George
