Firstly, the stylesheet you are using is the old version; I'm
currently working on a new system of XSL stylesheets, currently
only in the Subversion repository.
Ok, I took the latest snapshot, dated last monday. If I understood
correctly, the snapshots should be up to date w/ svn head, right?
Yes.
Secondly, the output of the stylesheet is an XML file, not a binary
Word document. Therefore the file extension should be ".xml", not
".doc".
Word handles wordml files w/ extension .doc just fine. The benefit
is that I can send that file to someone and not have to explain that
it's really a word document.
Well, there you go! You learn something every day!
MS Word is very helpful with its error reporting, isn't it? What I
do is "pretty-print" the WordML document and then try and open it
is Word again. That gives you a more helpful line location to
track down the problem.
I tried that (sorry, forgot to mention), but the exact location
word points to contains a tab. = /
The offending line (and the following lines upto the corresponding
closing tag) looks like this:
<w:r>
<w:rPr>
<w:rStyle w:val="inlineerror"/>
</w:rPr>
<w:t>revhistory encountered in articleinfo, but no template
matches.</w:t>
</w:r>
Manually adding <w:p> tags to surround this seems to remedy the
problem. Perhaps this should be corrected to the stylesheets?
Yes, this is a typical bug in the stylesheets. It is tricky to know
when to insert w:p, w:r and w:t tags.
The only problem validating was because this tag in the headers had
no content:
<o:TotalTime/>
I don't understand how this tag is w/out a value since in the
template it is
<o:TotalTime>19</o:TotalTime>
I manually added a value and the generated wordml document now
validates againts the schema. However, it still does not open in
word (as explained above). = /
I'll look into that.
Ok, it seems that the wordml xsl stylesheets are work in progress.
Do you have any guesstimates when they might be in usable condition?
I am actively working on them now, but I can't commit to a completion
date. However, I have (paying) clients who will soon be relying on
this so it won't take long.
Ps. Someone on this forum pointed out in reply to one of my earlier
posts that roundtrip/supported.xml does not render correctly to pdf
(w/ the fo stylesheets + fop) because on line 42 it has
<tgroup cols='3'>
evan though there are five columns. You might want to correct that.
Fair enough... I'll fix that too.
Cheers,
Steve Ball
