It should not be to problematic to change the code part the turns that massive string into foundry entities to iterate over multiple variables instead of just parsing one, or so I guess.
It is something for me to look at, but I am using DOMParser to do the XML conversion, and it needs to be given the complete string. I am considering manual processing to get into the "contents" part of the XML file and read each topic element one at a time from the file (assuming there isn't a single top-level topic element under which all other elements are children).

My main focus at the moment is getting the general conversion working better for files which can be loaded (< 512 MB).

At least it only uses the RWoutput file, rather then the RWexport file which is MUCH larger! :-)
