Oxygen XML Forum

Hello everyone,

i encountered an error that i haven't been able to fix while applying the standard transformation scenario to .pdf. You find the error message below. Since i am not very familiar with oxygen and xml this might be a noobish question. I apologise in advance

Best wishes,

Bastian

Hello,

What kind of XML document are you trying to transform to PDF(Docbook, DITA, TEI, FO)?

Could you provide a sample of the file that causes this problem when transformed to PDF? If possible please send it to our support email address: support@oxygenxml.com

Regards,
Adrian

Thanks for your reply,

the document i am trying to transform is a TEI P5 document. I will send it to the named address.

Best regards,
Bastian

I have to add, the transformation to html works properly. Only the transformation to .pdf results in the given error.

Bastian

Hello,

This seems to be an error in the TEI-to-FO stylesheets(TEI XSL) which are used by Oxygen when transforming TEI to PDF(XML -> FO -> PDF).
This error is still present in the latest version of TEI XSL, 5.35 which can be found here(Stylesheets): http://sourceforge.net/projects/tei/files/

The problem appears when a note contains a highlight(hi) that, in turn, contains a line break(lb).
e.g. <note><hi><lb/></hi></note>
When transformed to fo this ends up as a footnote with an inline that contains a block. This situation is not allowed by the FO specification so as a result the Apache FOP returns the mentioned error.

We have reported the issue to the TEI-XSL development team.

Regards,
Adrian

Hi,

Oxygen 12 which will be available in a couple of weeks will contain the latest TEI XSL stylesheets (5.39) which fix this problem.

Regards,
Radu
