Hi there,
I think I've asked about the Outline view before and it seems to be
getting more useful, but feedback from writers is that it's still
exactly what they want.

When editing a document, it is useful to have a "table of contents"
view of the document next to the main authoring view that provides a
synoptic view of the document's organization. In oXygen, the Outline
view comes very close to providing this:

Given a DocBook document if I filter on "chapter, section" then for
the typical document, I see just the chapters and sections, but the
results are a flat list. If I  deselect "Flat presentation mode of the
filtered results" then I have the indented tree view I expect BUT I
also see elements, PIs, etc that are preceding siblings of the
sections. For example:

* chapter Overview of the Foo Server
  * section Understanding the Foo Server Deployment
    * title Some section title
    * para Why am I seeing this para?
    * para This is noise and clutter ipsum lorem
  * section Foo Server Concepts

Is there a configuration change I could make to eliminate the
preceding siblings of the section from the Outline view? If there's
not, could the behaviors of the outline view be adjusted to allow for
this use case?

Thanks,
David
