RE: [xep-support] XEP processing instruction bug?

Hi,

On your 1st line you are getting the root element of your FO document, this
will not include any of the processing instructions.
I had a similar problem and was able to get around it by simple putting the
processing instructions inside the root node...

No, I am passing the DOMSource directly to render. Here is the relevant
code:

DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc.getDocumentElement(), sysId);
FOTarget target = new FOTarget(stream, format);
XEPLogger logger = new XEPLogger();
if (pageAreaHandler == null) {
xep.render(source, target, logger);
} else {
ContentHandler generator = xep.createGenerator(target, logger);
XEPContentHandler myGenerator =
new XEPContentHandler(generator, pageAreaHandler);
xep.render(source, myGenerator, logger);
}

and here is a sample input document:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xep-pdf-initial-zoom fit?>
<?xep-pdf-crop-offset 72pt 72pt 72pt 72pt?>
<?xep-pdf-bleed 24pt 24pt 24pt 24pt?>
<?xep-pdf-crop-mark-width 1pt?>

Hello Geoff,

Processing instructions works fine in XEP then DOMSource is passed to
the render method - I've just rechecked it. So it looks like a problem
with your code. Note that if you feed your DOM object to XSLT
transformer (not to the 'render' method of Formatter, but to 'transform'
method of FOTransformer) when PIs will be consumed by XSLT engine, not
XEP.
Still if you post here a relevant code snippet of your Java source and
input document itself someone may came up with a good suggestion.
