Re: [docbook-apps] A simple HowTo for customizing the pdf-output of an DocBook xml

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sco.com>]

I copied your stylesheet to a file and was able to successfully use it
to produce PDF, and the logo is in the header.  There were a couple
of problems:

1.  There is a typo in the default namespace declaration
(you used http.  rather than http:).  You don't need an
xhtml default namespace for FO output anyway, so that line
can be removed.  It did not prevent processing, though.

2.  The logo appears in the header on only the first page
of each chapter.  Is that what you intended?  If not,
go through the sequence of xsl:when statements again.
Remember that the first one that matches each set of
conditions is used, and the rest are ignored.  Most pages
are matching on the xsl:when statement just above the one
you use to insert your logo.

I used Xalan 2.5.1 and FOP 0.20.5 to process it.  I wonder
what version of Xalan you are using.  You may be using
the older bundled version in Java 1.4 unless you set up
a newer version using the Java "endorsed" mechanism.  See

for information on using an updated Xalan.
