I'm not sure if this is the place to make this request (if not, my
apologies!), but it sure would be useful if the error would indicate the
'line-number' along with all possible error messages. I can't say how
many times I've had an error like nullpointer, and spent hours trying to
figure out where the error was. Sometimes it provides the line-number,
but others it doesn't. One example is when I do an 'xsl:apply-templates
select="whatchamacallit"' only to find out that whatchamacallit happens
to be empty. It gives some sort of nullpointer error, but does not
specify a line-number. Then I have to find the missing info (brings to
mind a needle in a haystack).
Impossible in general. The parser can offer line numbers in
case of problems with XML syntax, but after the transformation
all bets are off.
It is possible to add line numbers to FOs in case FOP is fed
with a FO *file*, but communicating whats the difference between
a file and the result of a transformation is something left to
more patient people. Alos, even if there are line numbers attached
to FOs, they may be unreachable at the place where an error occurs.
Search the list archive for more material, this topic has been
hashed out several times already.
