Using DocBook XSL 1.70.1 with FOP 0.92

["Paul Moloney" <paul_moloney@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

 

We've updated our DocBook->PDF build process from fop 0.25 to 0.92beta, involving:

 

* DocBook XSL 1.70.1
* a customised layer
* Saxon 6.5.5
* FOP 0.92beta

 

So far the following issue(s) are preventing PDFs from being built:

The main SEVERE one is described in this FOP bug:

 

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39840

 

Jeremias says this is due to the fact that the "document is littered with keeps". This appears to be a result of using DocBook XSL 1.70.1. Does anyone know if later versions of DocBook XSL are compatible with FOP 0.92 or later?

 

Thanks,
