[oXygen-user] How to include smaller files into a "master document" in Oxygen?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza)]

Hello,

What type of XML files are these (DITA, DocBook, TEI or custom)?

The "support for RTL languages" is problematic for large files in Text 
mode. But Author mode (Document > Edit Mode > Author) can handle RTL 
content a lot better, so that's a possible solution if you want to work 
with larger files.
However, if you have a custom type of document thhat Oxuygen doesn't 
support out-of-the-box, you'll have to create a custom CSS, so that the 
document is represented properly in Author mode:

Yes, you can use XInclude to bind all documents together in a single 
master file. This way you can transform the master that includes all 
other documents as if it's a single document.
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ug-editor/index.html#topics/including-document-parts-with-XInclude.html
The examples from this section are for DocBook, but XInclude is 
supported by Oxygen independent from the XML format.
Check your XInclude options from Oxygen (Options > Preferences, XML > 
"XML Parser", "XInclude Options"), they should be enabled by default.

It's simpler to use the master file and runt the transformation just 
once on it.
