The Ant manual [1] recommends arg value=.../ rather than arg
line=.../.  Doing so needs more elements, but it's safer to use.

Why are you using the java task rather than the xslt task?  IMO,
using the xslt task makes using XML catalogs with Ant much easier.

You could also make a macro for the transformation so you wouldn't need
to repeat everything just to change three filenames.

...
 It might be nicer to use xmllint to expand the includes and validate,
 but I haven't figured out  how to get ant to do that.

I don't know why it's showing as beta since it was in earlier

RE: [docbook-apps] ant and db5, xinclude and fo output

2008-04-10 Thread Johnson, Eric
When I was setting up our Ant based tool chain I could not find a way to get 
the Ant xslt task to support xinclude processing without doing two passes: 
one to resolve the xincludes then one to process the content. Since we are also 
using profiling that resulted in a three stage process (5 if we tagged on PDF 
processing).
It seemed easier and faster to use Saxon from the java command.

Separate passes certainly makes it a lot easier to figure out what is
wrong if something breaks in the publishing chain...
