Re: [docbook-apps] XInclude with xpointer and ID

Thanks Eduard and Eric!

The processing with xsltproc->fop works just fine.
Although the file references in the resulting fo file (for media objects at least) are relative to the xml processed file (input) so i would have to descend to the dir containing it in order to issue the fop command, but that is a minor issue

Anyways, it would be nice if I could get rid of it by using the namespace definition in fop as suggested by Eric
But, Im not familiar with namespaces and schemas...
in order to do so i'm almost sure I need

1) A line with the following content, probably in the opening of the tag article (or section)

xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

2) Another line like this one or similar, but I can't figure out where to put it

<xs:attribute name="xml:id" type="xs:ID"/>

could you please help with that?

My apologies for a possibly trivial question

Thanks in advance,

Cristóbal

IIRC Xalan requires that you include the schema definition in the document's header for xml:id resolution to work.

Hi Cristobal!

Please, note, that FOP is mostly XSL:FO processor (.fo > .pdf or .fo > .ps) - not an XSLT processor (.xml > .fo). Of course, it has XML-XSLT generation capabilities (as a nice bonus), but rather than do a transformation by itself it relies on Xalan that is supplied with FOP (look at /lib catalog of FOP distro). So, you question is more concerns XSLT-processor (Xalan), but not FOP itself. Please, try to search in Xalan docs for capabilities you required. Or you can use double step transform: get .fo file by xsltproc and .pdf (or other print related formats) by FOP.

Hi Simon!

That worked perfect with xsltproc, but fop keeps on complaining...

"Include operation failed, reverting to fallback. Resource error reading file as XML (href="">xml'). Reason: XPointer resolution unsuccessful.2"

at least version 1.0

i'll try to install the newest version and try again

thanks a lot for your reply

Hi Cristobal

Instead of <section id="reqs">, try <section xml:id="reqs">
