Re: [FOP-USER] revision bars

 I have to display revision bars on a document.

I have a similar requirement. Was going to post this self-same question
today!

 I can't change the DTD ( SGML one, I transform sgml instances in xml
 before my fop treatment )

Exactly my situation. If XML had retained marked sections then I could do
away with the SGML master copy altogether. (I always said that the
non-inclusion of marked sections in the XML spec was stupid. But I also
said that the original goal of XML being implemented in 2 weeks by a
computing science student was impossible.)

 ... that specifies that the revisions bars
 must appear in front of the text which is between the tags
 startOfRevision/ and endOfRevision/ ; note that these tags
 are empty, and are included elements, in SGML sense !

I'm using the DocBook DTD and am contractualy limited to what additions I
can make to the DTD itself. Adding general entities is about the limit.

 Do you think I can display those bars

 - with XSL  (if possible, and I think it's not )
 - by inserting invisible marks in the PDF and have a post treatment on the PDK
 with the Adobe SDK. So, what kind of mark can I use ??

I don't have the option of using Adobe products. So I'm after a pure
SGML/DSSSL/XML/XSL solution.

Re: [FOP-USER] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Fop 0.20.3 released

 FOP 0.20.3 is finally available at http://xml.apache.org/dist/fop
 for downloading.

 The main reason for this release is the conformance to the XSL-FO
 Version 1.0 W3C Recommendation.

Does this mean that I can now use the Norm Walsh XSLT stylesheets
shrink-wrapped? I had problems doing this with 0.20.2 as previosuly
reported to this list. If I can't use them shrink wrapped what must I do
to use the latest versions of Norm's work?

Need more diagnostic info from FOP ... how?

2001-12-19 Thread Trevor Jenkins
I'm using fop 0.20.2 with the (1.47 experimental) DocBook XSL stylesheets.
Although fop reports Parsing of document complete when I use this setup
with my document I receive errors saying:

[ERROR]: property 'master-reference' ignored

and then after Parsing of document complete:

[ERROR]: 'master-name' for 'fo:page-sequence'matches no
'simple-page-master' or 'page-sequence-master'

This last is followed by java exception information. There's then no pdf
file produced. I can't decide where the error originates. Is it a fault in
the stylesheet, my understanding, fop itself, or all these and more? Sadly
as there's no additional info on that error that helps me find the cause
of the error with the stylesheet.

Here's the command line I'm using

~/Fop-0.20.2/fop.sh -d \
  -xsl /home/trevor/docbook-xsl-1.47-experimental/fo/docbook.xsl \
  -xml proposal.xml \
  -pdf proposal.pdf

The .xml file itself is about 25K. I've tried a (non DocBook) stylesheet
and fop generates a pdf file.

Both the stylesheets and Fop are out of the box.
