Re: [docbook-apps] Problems processing autolayout.xml

If this is the command you are actually using:

 

java -jar saxon.jar path/to/autolayout.xml path/to/autolayout.xsl

 

then that is the problem.  The autolayout.xsl stylesheet is only used to generate the autolayout.xml file from the layout.xml file.  You seem to have done that.  The next step is to process the autolayout.xml file with one of the website stylesheets such as tabular.xsl.  See:

Subject: [docbook-apps] Problems processing autolayout.xml

HI LIST,

I'm having a problem proccessing the autolayout.xml generated from my layout.xml proccessed with autolayout.xsl.

I'm using Saxon (ver.6.5.4.XSLT v1.0) with the website DTD (ver. 2.5.0.), when I ran Saxon it was giving me a whole lot of errors with the actual stylesheets (I'm using chunk-website.xsl which imports a whole lot more .xsl files), it had errors like not being able to fetch the DTD, undefined variables and undefined elements.  Afterwards, I tried again fixing some of the DTD fetching, so it finds the DTDs now but when run, Saxon does not output anything...no errors, no html, no nothing...What's going o n ???  I am o nly generating 5 simple pages as a test, but can not get DocBook website to work !!!


here's my layout.xml :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE layout PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Website Layout V2.4.0//EN"
          "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/website/2.5.0/schema/dtd/layout.dtd">
