We have re-checked the fact that ditac.bat always returns a correct exit code: 0 means success, greater than 0 means failure. In your case, ditac invokes xep.bat which probably returns an incorrect exit code, hence your problem. FYI, an error message like "attribute 'space-before.minimum' cannot have a value of """ is almost certainly a *false* error message triggered by this XEP bug: "renderx #22766". Simple workarounds are explained here (search for "renderx #22766"): http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/commandLine.html -- XMLmind DITA Converter Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/ditac-support
