Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook to FOP transformation produces "fo:table is missing child elements." - SOLVED
Oh for crying out loud I figured it out and wanted to pass along the details for the curious. Very long story short, I'm using Docbook, xsltproc, and Ruby's hpricot XML parser with the goal of building a streamlined docbook -> HTML/PDF publishing solution for my own use. As it turns out, hpricot was "fixing" the table tags, deciding that the correct order was indeed incorrect, and was actually rearranging one of the tags ever so subtly. It wasn't until I got so desperate that I started running diffs on all of the document files at each step of the process that I noticed this slight change. I prevented the rearranging from occurring by using hpricot's .XML method. So the bottom line is this has nothing to do with a Docbook issue. Bob thanks for all of your input, I really do appreciate it. Jason On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 9:41 AM, Jason Gilmore <wj@wjgilmore.com> wrote: > Thanks for all of your help on this, I appreciate it.
