PDF XSL-FO won't compile in Oxygen 23.1

[Carl]

I just installed Oxygen XML Author v23.1 and now my PDF will not compile using the PDF based on XSL-FO transformation. It ends with this error:

Code: Select all

System ID: /home/clum/Oxygen XML Author 23/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT3.x/plugins/org.dita.pdf2/build.xml
Scenario: DITA Map PDF - based on XSL-FO - Copy
Input file: /home/clum/repos/docs-cust/PHEMI_Central/automation_plugins/automation_plugins.ditamap
Engine name: DITA-OT
Severity: error
Description: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to compile stylesheet '/home/clum/Oxygen XML Author 23/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT3.x/plugins/org.dita.pdf2.fop/xsl/fo/topic2fo_shell_fop.xsl': Errors were reported during stylesheet compilation
Start location: 280:0

When I loaded the same files in v22.1, my PDF compiled normally.

What does this error mean?

HI Carl,

I need more details, you should find in the DITA OT console view at the bottom of Oxygen the actual XSLT stylesheet where the XSLT compilation breaks.
If you are unable to locate that compilation error, after the publishing breaks, please copy the entire contents from the "DITA OT" console view at the bottom of Oxygen, zip it and send it to us via email (support@oxygenxml.com).

Regards,
Radu

Hi Radu. Is this what you're looking for?

Hi Carl,

I think a more detailed description of the error is in the 5-10 lines of console output which came before the lines you pasted.

Here is the chunk from before "Build Failed":

[Radu]

Hi Carl,

Yes, that's the problem:

Code: Select all

 [pipeline] Static error at xsl:call-template on line 100 column 52 of root-processing.xsl:
 [pipeline]   XTSE0680: Parameter msgnum is not declared in the called template

One of your XSLT customization is using a parameter named "msgnum" in a call template something like this:

Code: Select all

    <xsl:call-template name="output-message">
      <xsl:with-param name="msgnum">000</xsl:with-param>

The "msgnum" parameter has been deprecated since DITA OT 2.3 and was probably removed in the latest DITA OT.
A call template to "output-message" using the new way of specifying parameters looks like this:

Code: Select all

    <xsl:call-template name="output-message">
      <xsl:with-param name="id" select="'DOTX066W'"/>
      <xsl:with-param name="msgparams">%1=getString</xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:call-template>

Maybe you should go over your entire XSLT customization, find the XSLT templates that you copied from the base DITA OT XSLTs and update those templates to contain the latest DITA OT changes.

Radu

Sorry Radu, I forgot about this thread as I moved back to Oxygen 22.1 to avoid the problem.

So if I replace the problematic section with:

Code: Select all

    <xsl:call-template name="output-message">
      <xsl:with-param name="id" select="'DOTX066W'"/>
      <xsl:with-param name="msgparams">%1=getString</xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:call-template>

This should overcome this problem at least?

Unfortunately, our XSL customization was created by a contractor several years ago. I do not know Dita/XSL well enough to review all the customizations against the based templates and remove the out-of-date references.

[Radu]

Hi Carl,

Yes. About your particular situation I'm afraid our tech support help does not cover migrating old XSL-FO based customizations. But if you have particular questions I can try to help as time allows.
Our present and future focus is on our CSS-based PDF publishing which allows to customize PDF using CSS and avoiding completely XSLT. If you choose this approach we can help with advice customizing the CSS.

Radu
