Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] New to this list, with an XSL question...


Hi Filippo,

This is the mistake:


Â/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/fo/titlepage.xsl \

That should be:

Â/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/template/titlepage.xsl \

These two files named 'titlepage.xsl' have two completely different purposes and should probably not have the same name.

Greetings, Bob,

I'm not sure what the problem is here, as your process looks correct. Can you compare your generated titlepage.xsl to the original fo/titlepage.templates.xsl that is included with the distribution? They should be equivalent, modulo whitespace variations.

Thank your for your reply.

Please, be patient, I have reproduced the experiment, but since I do not modify
any file, I am using the distribution files directly, like this:

xsltproc --output titlepage.xsl \
Â/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/fo/titlepage.xsl \
Â/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/fo/titlepage.templates.xml

The command above created the new titlepage.xsl file in the local directory.

Now I can compare the sizes of both xsl files:

799 lines for the original one (/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/fo/titlepage.xsl)
1266 lines for the newly created one

If I open the newly created file in an editor, I see *existing* lines that are
empty. The file contains only the following non-empty line

line 1: <?xml version="1.0"?>

All the remaining lines are empty (only '\n' characters).


For the record, the xml file contains this amount of lines:

1682 /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/fo/titlepage.templates.xml

So something is wrong, but also I must have made a mistake the first time I
tried, since the build of the pdf file went to the end (the validation
succeeded) while now the build fails with the following error:

/home/rusconi/devel/docbook/msxpertsuite/minexpert/xslt/fo/titlepage.xsl:1267: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found

^
compilation error: file /home/rusconi/devel/docbook/msxpertsuite/minexpert/xslt/fo/docbook.xsl line 6 element import
xsl:import : unable to load /home/rusconi/devel/docbook/msxpertsuite/minexpert/xslt/fo/titlepage.xsl

The error is related to the fact that apart from the first line, there is not a
single XML tag in the imported xls file.

So, this is where I am at the moment.

Thank for your attention,

Cheers,
Filippo
