Hi,

If your XML source files are in DocBook format you can run the DocBook EPUB transformation scenario.
There's a video demonstration on our web site showing how to do this:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/Epub.html
Select Publish to EPUB from the left side TOC to skip directly to that part of the video.

Thank you Adrain for your fast answer. The video demonstration is clear, but i have a lot of xml files (perhaps over 70). I would like merge this xml files in a one epub-file. When i follow the video tutorial the i have many books for one issue. Do you know a workaround, how can i solve may problem?

Hi,

There's no way to automatically merge them. If you got them from someone else, check if you already have a master XML file that links them all together. If you don't, you'll have to create this file.
One way to link them together is to use external entities as seen in this demo:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/Working_W ... dules.html

Another way is to use XInclude:

Have a look at the samples that Oxygen provides for DocBook, samples\docbook\v5\sampleXInclude.xml.

After you have created (or identified) this master file, you can transform it to EPUB.
