/ Andy Jewell <andy_jewell@fanniemae.com> was heard to say:
| I've had the same error in a similar circumstance.  It only started when I
| began assigning ID's to my important sections (sect1-3, procedures).  What I
| have in the original document is an end reference as a Word bookmark in plain
| text (e.g., "refid_parta_of_the_document").  I then make this the end point
| of an XREF.  I never had the error until I started processing the document as
| HTML as well as FO/PDF.  Because of the former, I needed to put IDs on all
| the sections:
|   <xsl:template match="paragraph[@class='sec1title']">

"paragraph" isn't a DocBook element.

|     <sect1>
|       <!--<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of
| select="generate-id()"/></xsl:attribute>-->
|       <!-- fill in current title -->
|       <title>
|  <xsl:if test="child::reference">
|    <xsl:attribute name="id">
|      <xsl:value-of select="reference[substring(@id,1,5)='refid']/@id"/>
|    </xsl:attribute>
|  </xsl:if>
|
| If I remove the ID attribute (as it is now) - it works fine.  What I assumed
| was happening was that the sect1 paragraph and the title paragraph would, for
| the purposes of generate-id()-ness, be the same.  So XSL-FO was probably
| trying to turn plain-text Title element ID into a generate-id() and
| discoverying that it had already been used by the sect1 ID.

The paragraphs are only the same if they are the same.

| Hope that helps identify the issue.

I am completely confused about what you're trying to accomplish. It looks
like you're generating DocBook from something else. Is that the case? Are
you processing paragraph twice?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
