Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: XML V. 1.58.1: The ID d0e2346 already exists inthe document (Solution)

I've had the same error in a similar circumstance.  It only started when I
began assigning ID's to my important sections (sect1-3, procedures).  What I
have in the original document is an end reference as a Word bookmark in plain
text (e.g., "refid_parta_of_the_document").  I then make this the end point
of an XREF.  I never had the error until I started processing the document as
HTML as well as FO/PDF.  Because of the former, I needed to put IDs on all
the sections:
  <xsl:template match="paragraph[@class='sec1title']">
    <sect1>
      <!--<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of
select="generate-id()"/></xsl:attribute>-->
      <!-- fill in current title -->
      <title>
 <xsl:if test="child::reference">
   <xsl:attribute name="id">
     <xsl:value-of select="reference[substring(@id,1,5)='refid']/@id"/>
   </xsl:attribute>
 </xsl:if>

If I remove the ID attribute (as it is now) - it works fine.  What I assumed
was happening was that the sect1 paragraph and the title paragraph would, for
the purposes of generate-id()-ness, be the same.  So XSL-FO was probably
trying to turn plain-text Title element ID into a generate-id() and
discoverying that it had already been used by the sect1 ID.

Hope that helps identify the issue.
