Package: xmlto Version: 0.0.23-2 I use xmlto to process a docbook file to HTML, and dblatex to process it to PDF (because the dblatex look nicer and work better in my case). But I have discovered a problem with xmlto. It is unable to process xref with xrefstyle values. This is a simple XML example to demonstrate the problem:
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"> <book> <bookinfo> <title>Your title here</title> </bookinfo> <chapter id="ch1"><title>Chapter title</title> <section><title>Section title 1</title> <para> See chapter on page <xref xrefstyle="select: pagenumber" linkend="ch1"/>. </para> </section> </chapter> </book> When processing it with dblatex, the paragraph is expanded to "See chapter on page 1". But when I process it with xmlto, I get this error: % xmlto html valid-xref-xrefstyle.xml xmlto: valid-xref-xrefstyle.xml does not validate (status 3) xmlto: Fix document syntax or use --skip-validation option valid-xref-xrefstyle.xml:11: element xref: validity error : No declaration for attribute xrefstyle of element xref Document valid-xref-xrefstyle.xml does not validate % What is going on here? Is the docbook XML invalid or is xmlto unable to recognize correct docbook XML in this case? xmllint also fail to validate this XML (reported as BTS #682944), but as far as I can find on the web and docbook documentation, this is valid use of xref. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
