Re: [docbook-apps] command line param to keep FO file in PDF output?

2021-03-11 Thread Mark Giffin
Thanks Tony, I'll keep this makefile tip in mind. But it turns out that 
the FO file was deleted by a shell script that was called by the makefile.


Regards,
Mark

Since you are using Make, run the rule to make the FO file once so that
there is an intermediate FO file there when Make next runs.

Make will automatically delete intermediate files that weren't there
when it started, but will preserve updated intermediate files that were
already there:

That worked, thanks a lot Bob. Now I have to set up xerces for my xincludes.

The short answer is: The DocBook XSL stylesheets are written in XSL 1, 
and work best with Saxon 6.5.5.

Does this not work with Saxon? I can run this successfully on Ubuntu 
using xsltproc (using Windows Subsystem for Linux so I can run ubuntu 
on the same file system).

Re: [docbook-apps] using olinks everywhere?

2020-07-12 Thread Mark Giffin
 on your own
there.
  * I’m amazed that you /can/ mix namespaced and non-namespaced XSL in
the same doc build system. You’re a wizard.
  * You can upgrade your DocBook 4.3 files to 4.5, the last supported
version of DocBook 4, by just editing the number in the DOCTYPE
line of each file, and adjusting the version of XSL you’re using
to match. It was painless for us to do that.
