[docbook-apps] Fop failing with illicit table
Hello, I am facing the infamous error: A table-cell is spanning more rows than available in its parent element. When trying to convert DocBook to PDF using FOP. It is a big document with many tables, and looking for the culprit is tedious. Has anyone faced this issue, and found a way to detect the issue? A simple XPath would do I guess?

That would make it an illegal CALS table - according to the OASIS CALS specs. Has anyone faced this issue, and found a way to detect the issue? A simple XPath would do I guess? I've created some schematron and done a blog post on CALS validity: http://code.google.com/p/cals-table-schematron/ http://blogs.deltaxml.com/2013/08/08/cals-table-validity/ (I do have an update I want to get some time to work on - I want to try out David Carlisle's suggestion to address the phases/progressive-validation issue - which is more of a schematron issue) Cheers, Nigel -- Nigel Whitaker, Software Architect, DeltaXML Ltd.

If the message comes from fop, open the .fo file in Oxygen and hit Validate.
