[xep-support] Re: troubleshhoting xsl-fo validation errors formatting docbookx from xep

Dr. Leff:

This issue has been posted to xep-support many times in the past.

RenderX uses Clark's XT processor for the validation stage. That parser
fails on recent releases of Java in a 64-bit environment. There is nothing
wrong with your document, just disable validation when processing.

If you need to know how to do this, please write back with what method you
use to call XEP and we can help you.

Subject: [xep-support] troubleshhoting xsl-fo validation errors formatting
docbookx from xep

I have a 320-page class notes I Prepared with docbook.
How can I trouble shoot the following type of problem:

e. g.

  (validate
    [error] Attribute 'space-before.optimum' cannot have a value of "".
    [validation total: 1 error]
Parse error: Invalid XSL FO source
'file:/home/leffstudent/225/notes.xml.fo': 1 error found during validation

This is from the XSL-FO that the docbook part of the toolchain creates.
How can I find where the problem is.

I tried searching for "space-before.optimum="" in the XSL-FO file but could
not find it.

I see the folint.xsl that render X graciously provided. I do not see
that it prints out the location in the xsl-fo file that is the problem.
(Hopefully, I can then see the corresponding place in the docbook document
and fix the one that is causing th eproblem.

Now, I do have validation errors against the docbook DTD (xmlto).
As I mentioned
in a support posting (2299) in 2004, they wwere ones that many systems are
tolerant of such as leaving out the paragraphs from a listitem tag before
writing the text to be in the list item.

<section>
<para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>technically, text should not be in a listitem</listitem>
<listitem>It is not declared with #PCDATA in the dtd </listitem>
</orderedlist>
</para>
</section>

By the way, this version of Render X handles this specific example.

The docbook xsl 1.76 and the Version is 4.18 build 20100322 of March 22nd
2010.
