Hi,
I'm struggling to embed SVG into a docbook5 document. I don't know if
this is an issue of how I'm coding, or if this is an issue with the tools
being used...any advice on solving this is welcomed.
I am using xsltproc with docbook5 docbook.xsl to produce a ".fo" file
(Linux o/s), with the original XML validated error free under both xmllint and
jing. I am thing using fop to create a number of output formats from the ".fo"
file...ps, pdf, rtf. The section of code with the svg being added refers to an
external file, and in no case does any error or warning ever show up. Here's
the sample code:
<!DOCTYPE
book [
<!ENTITY
version "0.1 unreleased">
]>
<book
xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
version="5.0">
<info>
...snip...
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata align="left"
format="svg"
fileref="/somewhere/content/by-sa.svg"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>CC BY-SA License</phrase>
</textobject>
<caption>

License</para>
</caption>
</mediaobject>
...snip...
I have tried the fileref using full path, relative path, so on. There is
never a complaint, the svg file itself displays and apparently is valid under
a number of svg apps, and everything else shows up as expected. I have even
tried intentionally making a very impossible and invalid file path, I cannot
get a complaint from any of the tools. Am I using the XML wrong, or are my
tools missing something under valid code?
Thanks!
