[oXygen-user] mystery: content-height validation problem with XEP

[Radu Coravu]

Hi Robert,

For example if in a Docbook 5 XML file you have an image like:

<imagedata fileref="../lake.jpeg" scale="100" contentdepth="50"/>

in the generated FO file (which gets transformed to PDF) it gets 
transformed to:

<fo:external-graphic src="url(../lake.jpeg)" width="auto"
                             height="auto" content-width="auto" 
content-height="50px"/>


I tested with both Apache FOP and XEP 4.16 and they both accept the 
content-height with the value specified with "px" (and without the px 
appended as well).
Maybe you are using an older version of XEP?

Regards,
Radu
