[oXygen-user] Recursive Root Element In CSS

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Dear Betty,

Please find a working sample attached. I think the initial XML file in 
your sample also had a few issues, having additional titles without a 
topic element.
In any case, please see the attached sample and let me know if this helps.

Best Regards,
George
