Re: [docbook-apps] Custom title templates

Hi Lars,

It should work as you originally set it up.  As you say, other included files worked.  Either there is something strange with the generated titles file, or something is going on within the command line. I can't tell what "xalanxmlfspacat" is doing.  Can you run the process with Xalan outside of that wrapper script?  Do you have access to Saxon or xsltproc to see if that works?

Subject: [docbook-apps] Custom title templates

Hi

I have been looking into the various features of DocBook for a short while and finally decided to do some work on title pages (PDF).

After carefully reading about how to go about it I did the following:

1. Took a copy of fo/titlepage.templates.xml
2. Modified it and transformed it by means of  template\titlepage.xsl
3. I got a new xsl-file: fspafop_titlepage.xsl that I placed in the same directory as my custom xsl

I updated my cusom xsl to:

......

 <xsl:import href=""/>
 <!-- fo titlepages -->
 <xsl:include href=""/>  <======
 <!-- include common parameters -->
 <xsl:include href=""/> 
 <!-- fo specifics -->

....

And did a transform.....

 

The result was sadly:

E:\download\xmlmind>call E:\fop-0.20.5\xalanxmlfspacat e:\download\xmlmind\copygen.xml e:\docbook-xsl-1.65.1\fspafop.xsl e:\download\xmlmind\foo.fo

file:///e:/docbook-xsl-1.65.1/fspafop.xsl; Line #5; Column #50; XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException): javax.xml.transfor
m.TransformerException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Had IO Exception with stylesheet file: fspafop_titlepage.xsl

So the include did not work.

After a couple of hours of researching different possibilities I finally went in and edited the "base"  fo/docbook.xsl changing the includes to:

<xsl:include href=""/>
<!-- <xsl:include href=""/> -->
<xsl:include href=""/> <=====
<xsl:include href=""

Then it worked!!!!

This is very strange I think since I have been using other includes (not as large as this one) in my customization layer and they worked directly.

 

What I use is:

DocBook DTD 4.3

DocBook Xsl 1.65.1

Xalan-j 2.6.0

Fop 0.20.5

 

Does anybody have a clue to the problem causing this?
