Hello Adrian, (resent, with copy to the mailing list) thanks for your explanations. My XML files are "custom" and I have defined a DTD and a CSS myself, which I am progressively enriching, as my understanding of the complexity of that particular thesaurus grows. In my creation of the Thesaurus I alternate between "Text Mode" for certain (complex) tasks and "Author Mode" for (easy) tasks. I had not realized until now that the RLT file size constraints are not that stringent in Author Mode. (BTW, Tamil is not a "RTL language" but rather a script with complex rendering ...) Since I asked the question, I have discovered the following video on the Oxygen Web site, "http://oxygenxml.com/demo/Working_With_XML_Modules.html" Using your answer and the video, I should (hopefully) have no difficulty trying to use that method. I have however a remaining question: -- I expect the linkage between the "master document" and the "included documents" to be described in some auxiliary file, which will tell Oxygen where to look for the DTD, etc. when it does "content completion" -- WHERE will those auxiliary files be located? (will they be in a hidden location) How can I do backup for them? -- WHAT HAPPENS when I upgrade to the next version of Oxygen? Will the auxiliary files be destroyed? Thanks for clarifying those points Best wishes -- Jean-Luc Chevillard (Paris) "https://univ-paris-diderot.academia.edu/JeanLucChevillard" "https://plus.google.com/u/0/113653379205101980081/posts/p/pub" "https://twitter.com/JLC1956" On 07/12/2015 15:32, Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza) wrote:
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: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ug-editor/index.html#concepts/dg-...
Can I create a MASTER document in Oxygen in which the chapters are INCLUDED (by mentionning their names) for the sake of processing the sum of the chapters? 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/inclu...
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.
(I currently run XSLT transformations on separate chapters for making indices? How to do that for the sum of the chapters?) It's simpler to use the master file and runt the transformation just once on it.

Greetings!
I am currently editing several XML files which are the chapters of a Tamil thesaurus, and each file is dangerously close to the size limit connected with the script specificity. ("support for RTL languages" has to be activated, for proper display, and I have already increased the default size beyond which RTL language support is automatically deactivated)
I would appreciate pointers on the best methods for dealing with the larger entity, i.e. the sum of the chapters.

Thanks for any pointers to the appropriate section inside the Oxygen documentation (provided that it is possible to do that in Oxygen ...).
If the "RTL language" limit was not there, I would have used a single file but that does not seem to be possible.
