Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: EntityResolver?

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ "Bradford, Denis" <denisb@rational.com> was heard to say:
| Previously converted a simple document to HTML Help using htmlhelp.dsl. Now
| trying to use xmlhelp.xsl, I get the same null error from xalan as the one
| in this thread:

It's not clear to me that this is related to entity resolution (in
fact, I think it is not).

| file:///D:/docbook-htmlhelp/htmlhelp-xsl/docbook/html/table.xsl; Line 150;
| Colum
| n 71;
| XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform.TransformerException): null

My copy of html/table.xsl looks like this around line 150:

148          <xsl:when test="contains($vendor, 'SAXON 5')">
149            <!-- the saxon5 extension doesn't support this (yet) -->
150            <xsl:copy-of select="$colgroup"/>
151          </xsl:when>
152          <xsl:when test="contains($vendor, 'Apache Software Foundation')">

Xalan has no business ever executing line 150.

What's on line 150 of your version of html/table.xsl?

                                        Be seeing you,
