Hi Richard, Please can someone direct me to an authoritative explanation of what constitutes a valid XML file ? Let me try with expert knowledge freshly gained from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML#Well-formedness_and_error-handling). For your below document, this means: * The ?xml? prolog is optional. * There's no single root element that contains all the other elements. Therefore, the XML isn't well-formed, and thus not valid. HTH. Cheers, Stefan I've been provided with some XML files which are a bit like this : ?xml? category id=information section id=general element id=fileinfo / /section /category category id=device section id=Status element id=1 / element id=2 / /section /category They are described as XML, together with a note that ... file can be created using any XML editor providing the format and tags required are used, though I get various errors from emacs+nxml-mode, XmlMind and Serna. I think that they are not well-formed, on account of having two root nodes. I'm also a bit surprised by the lack of the usual version, encoding and standalone attributes in the xml PI, though I suspect they are actually optional. And I've just found that it starts with (hex) ef bb bf, before the ? - is that a byte-order mark ? Or just another non-standardness ? I will need to pass this back to the originators so that they can either : 1. Change their software to produce/use real XML. or: 2. Change their documentation to refer to XML-like or similar. In the meantime I'll need to do some sort of processing to get it into a form that I can process. Appreciatively, Richard.

[docbook-apps] Yet again, FOP complaining of the generated fo file
Hello, friends As you might recall, I shared some trouble I was having with FOP and conversion of a .fo file to .pdf. Bob helped finding the problem, I reported to FOP developers, and it was fixed today on trunk. But now, I have some other problems, and I would like to hear from you wether or not this might be a bug of FOP, so I can report again :) FOP complains with: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: fo:list-item-label is missing child elements. Required content model: marker* (%block;)+ (See position 10949:732) The complain is correct, as the generated code is: fo:list-item space-after=0pt space-before.minimum=0.5em space-before.optimum=1em space-before.maximum=2em space-after.minimum=0.5em space-after.optimum=1em space-after.maximum=2emfo:list-item-label/fo:list-item-body start-indent=0pt end-indent=0ptfo:block-container width=100% height=2info:block Now, the quesiton is, is it correct that the label should have a content?

I'll fix that in the source tree. Great. So, can I pull the fix from somewhere :) Regarding dbfo needs in FOP, the last time I tried it I found it is close to working. The basic mechanism works, but it does not properly preserve the vertical spacing because FOP did not support certain spacing properties, but which ones I don't recall at this moment. It is possible they have fixed those spacing properties, in which case it should work. If you test it, let me know what your results are. Just a note for people reading my mails to this list, I am not writing the document myself, but translating from an O'Reilly book. So, for now, I prefer not to mess with any XML/XML-PI, and do that only when I get to the end.

[docbook-apps] Are docbook xsl up-to-date?
Dear All, I am kind of new to this world of docbook. I managed to convert a validated docbook XML into a FO file. But then, fop complains that the FO file is not valid: SEVERE: Exception javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: fo:inline is not a valid child of fo:block! (See position 1870:716) Any idea what am I doing wrong? Or are the XSL needing some fix?
