I discovered a problem with the documentation build system.

When I run `bjam --v2 doc fo` from the $BOOST_ROOT/doc directory, it
generates some *.boostbook files in the bin.v2 directory.

Here's a snippet from one of those files:
<template-type-parameter name="RangeT"/>
        </template><parameter
        
name="Output"><paramtype>OutputIteratorT</paramtype><description><para>An
        output iterator to which the result will be copied
        </para></description></parameter><parameter
        name="Input"><paramtype>const RangeT
        &amp;</paramtype><description><para>An input range
        </para></description></parameter><parameter
        name="Loc"><paramtype>const std::locale
        &amp;</paramtype><default>std::locale()</default><description><para>A
        locale used for conversion
        
</para></description></parameter></signature><signature><type>SequenceT</type><template>

Notice the backwards 'template' tags?

Html can still be built with this problem present, but not pdf.


After applying the patch you suggested earlier to fop.sh (actually, fop.bat on my machine), I can now build the date_time PDF. Thanks.

I got the above error when I was trying to regenerate the date_time docs using date_time/xmldoc/ref_tag_fix.pl, a perl script that tries to manipulate the DocBook XML and botches it. Is that what you're doing? If so, you should apply the Jamfile.v2 patch I sent around and regenerate date_time's .boostbook files that way. Then try again.

FWIW, I've never been able to build a unified PDF from all of Boost's documentation. FOP simply can't handle it. I just tried again, and it craps out with the oh-so-informative "[ERROR] null". And here I thought null references were impossible with Java! :-P
