[oXygen-user] Recursive Root Element In CSS

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Betty,

Thank you for contacting us!
We handle these exactly as you want for DocBook section elements. You 
can find the CSS code here:
[oxygen]/frameworks/docbook/css/docbook.css

Here it is a sample DocBook showing this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
     xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="5.0">
     <info>
         <title>Article Template Title</title>
     </info>
     <section>
         <title>Test</title>
         <section>
             <title>Test</title>
             <section>
                 <title>test</title>
                 <para>Test</para>
             </section>
             <section>
                 <title>test</title>
                 <para>Test</para>
             </section>
         </section>
         <section>
             <title>Test</title>
             <section>
                 <title>test</title>
                 <para>Test</para>
             </section>
             <section>
                 <title>test</title>
                 <para>Test</para>
             </section>
         </section>
     </section>
</article>

Does that help?

Best Regards,
George
