Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook 4.5, XSL 1.72.0 and FOP 0.93 all working together?

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

While FOP 0.93 is better in many respects, it is still being actively 
developed, and has some problems that should be fixed before it reaches 
version 1.0.

This particular error is due to the use of empty fo:wrapper elements to 
position markers for indexterms in the content. The current fop does not 
like fo:wrapper outside of a block (although it is permitted in the 
standard).  If you put your indexterm elements inside your title or para 
elements, then it will work.

You might also set the DocBook stylesheet parameter fop1.extensions to 1 in 
your customization file.
