Hi there, I am currently trying to check if my group can start using docbook for writing high quality documentation. As far as I understand there are three competitors dblatex, xmlroff and fop. dblatex is a strange beast as it 'just works', but you cannot control anything (PNG file are degraded).
I am now trying fop on my debian system: $ fop -xsl /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/fo/docbook.xsl -pdf article.pdf -xml in.xml which returns the following error (*). The input example was simply: $ cat in.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";> <article> <articleinfo> <title>title</title> <author> <firstname>author</firstname> <surname>author2</surname> <affiliation> <orgname>bla</orgname> </affiliation> </author> <pubdate>2001</pubdate> </articleinfo> <section> <title>section 1</title> <para>text section 1</para> <figure> <title>first</title> <mediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="graphics2.png"/> </imageobject> </mediaobject> </figure> </section> </article> Could someone please confirm whether including PNG file is supported or not ? Thanks, -- Mathieu Ps: I haven't yet tried xmlroff (*) Jan 27, 2010 3:02:25 PM org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler warning WARNING: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Making portrait pages on USletter paper (8.5inx11in) Jan 27, 2010 3:02:25 PM org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler warning WARNING: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Read /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/README.Debian.gz section 5(a).
