This is a strange error that I've not seen before. Those templates have a
lot of mileage, so I don't think it is a bug there. Does this occur with
all documents? Can you post a very short document that illustrates the
problem?

Subject: [docbook-apps] Error in Docbook XSL stylesheets?
Dear all.
I was turning a fairly large DocBook XML document into PDF just fine
for some time using DocBook XML and Apache FOP. I am currently using
the latest DocBook XSL files (1.74.0) and Apache FOP 0.94.
Then, after some changes to the document (I haven't been able to
identify exactly what yet), I tried to create a new PDF and got the
following error.
runtime error: file /usr/share/docbook-xsl-latest/fo/spaces.xsl line
267 element value-of
Internal error in xsltValueOf(): failed to cast an XPath object to string.
Line 267 is the line I have marked with a comment in the following
template block:
<xsl:template name="space.200A.subst">
<xsl:param name="string"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($string, ' ') and
$space.hairspace.width != ''">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, ' ')"/>
<fo:leader leader-length="{$space.hairspace.width}"/>
<xsl:call-template name="space.200A.subst">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string,
' ')"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$string"/> <!-- LINE 267 -->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
I haven't yet been able to figure out what the problem is. I don't
know if there is an error in the document or if his is an error in the
XSL stylesheets. I don't know enough about the stylesheets and XSLT to
know what this block is supposed to be doing.
Can someone help me out here please?
Thank you,
Paul
