DocBook FO root element

[jenzed]

Hello. I'm using oXygen 7.2 to write a book in DocBook XML. I have created a XSL customization file containing the following:

Code: Select all

<?xml version='1.0'?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

                xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"

                xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"

		            xmlns:ng="http://docbook.org/docbook-ng"

		            xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"

                exclude-result-prefixes="db ng exsl"

  version='1.0'>

  

  <xsl:import

    href="/Applications/oxygen/frameworks/docbook/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"/>

  

    <xsl:attribute-set name="xref.properties">

      <xsl:attribute name="color">blue</xsl:attribute>

    </xsl:attribute-set>

  

  <xsl:template match="guilabel">

    <xsl:call-template name="inline.boldseq"/>

  </xsl:template>

  

</xsl:stylesheet>

I can transform chapters of my book in the shell using the following commands:

(CLASSPATH setting: /Applications/oxygen/lib/fop.jar:/Applications/oxygen/lib/batik.jar:/Applications/oxygen/lib/xalan.jar:/Applications/oxygen/lib/xercesImpl.jar:/Applications/oxygen/lib/avalon-framework-4.1.3.jar)

xsltproc --output test.fo --stringparam fop.extensions 1 /Users/me/Documents/book/custom_docbook.xsl chapter1.xml

java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop -fo test.fo -pdf test.pdf

I can transform chapters of my book in oXygen *unless* I specify my XSL customization file. If I specify my XSL customization file (via "Configure Transformation Scenario | Additional XSLT Stylesheets"), I get the following error:

SystemID: /Users/me/Documents/book/custom_docbook.xsl
Description: ERROR: Document root element for FO output must be one of the following elements: appendix article bibliography book chapter colophon dedication glossary index part preface qandaset refentry reference sect1 section set setindex

Suggestions are much appreciated. thx!

Hi Jennifer,

A customisation layer is a stylesheet that imports the docbook stylesheet and adds some paratemetrs, templates, etc. Due to the import precedence then this stylesheet actually overwrites the docbook default processing.
Now all you need is to set your stylesheet instead of the docbook one in a transformation scenario (do not add it as additional XSLT stylesheet).

Best Regards,
George
