Re: PassiveTeX Howto?
Hi,
I am still having trouble getting the simplest docbook test file (pasted
in at the end of this message) to render to pdf via passivetex.
I am using docbook-xsl 1.48, either saxon 6.5.1 or xalan 2.3.1,
TeX-Live 6.0 with updated passivetex distro and xmltex.tex.
pdfxmltex can successfully render any of the sample .fo (or .xml with .xsl)
files in the passivetex test directory.
When I try:
saxon test.dkb docbook/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl test.fo
pdfxmltex -interaction=nonstopmode test.fo
I get an error [in the test.log file]:
The control sequence marked <to be read again> should
not appear between \csname and \endcsname.
)
Runaway argument?
\csname\endcsname\Odd: :xsl-region-body\endcsname \csname Atomic:\POdd \ETC.
! File ended while scanning use of \@Pass.
<inserted text>
\par
<*> test.fo
I suspect you have forgotten a `}', causing me
to read past where you wanted me to stop.
I'll try to recover; but if the error is serious,
you'd better type `E' or `X' now and fix your file.
! Emergency stop.
<*> test.fo
*** (job aborted, no legal \end found)
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
