I have built a large Docbook reference-manual document with hundreds
of function-definition pages that have each been stored as separate
XML files which are referenced by the master document. ?All worked
fine untl I upgraded to xxe4. ?(This is a Linux system, and yes I did
detect that settings were now in the hidden-directory ".xxe4" instead
of ".xxe" and I did copy the "addons" from one to the other.)

Now, when I open any of these separate files, they only open in
tree-view.  (The master document opens in formatted view.)

In my ".xxe4/addon/config/Docbook" I have the following "docbook.xxe" file:
[--SNIP!--]
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<!--
        This XXE-configuration file overrides specific things for
DocBook-type documents for the current user.
        As you can see, it first includes the original configuration,
then overrides and augments certain
        entries.
-->
<configuration name="DocBook"
  xmlns="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/configuration";
  xmlns:cfg="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/configuration";>
  <include location="xxe-config:docbook/docbook.xxe"/>
  <template name="Function Refentry (for ChimneySweep)"
            location="template/refentry_function.xml" />
</configuration>
[--SNIP!--]

I can see that this configuration file is being seen and processed.
By fiddling with various file-names in this file and then restarting
XXE, I furthermore know that both of the files referred-to in the
"location=" attributes do exist and are, at the appropriate times,
being found.  The template-name appears in the list... but a new file
appears, once again, in Tree View only.  Formatted views are neither
available nor offered.

I emphasize that this once worked flawlessly:  files appeared
formatted, in the text-editor view, and I was able to produce all of
those hundreds of files in just this way.  But apparently that was XXE
3, because the original hidden-dir was ".xxe" not ".xxe4."

I haven't re-found the original documentation that once showed me how
to do this.  The XML comment in that file is my own comment to
myself...
