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

[Wendell Piez]

Hi,

I know this is old, but just a wild guess -- if the stylesheet 
expects a value and doesn't find one, the FO could be coming out

<fo:external-graphic ... content-height="px"/>

and I wouldn't be surprised to see XEP complain about that.

Cheers,
Wendell
