Hi Eddie, I'm not the world's greatest XML/XSLT/DocBook/Java guru, but it appears to me that the error is coming from the Saxon XSLT processor. So, while your XML is valid and correct, it's hitting some limit inside the Saxon utility - that limit looks like the Java stack.
I notice from the errors that you are using DocBook - have you got sections within sections within sections or similar, that are nested quite deeply? It could be this that is causing the processor to barf. The problem, looking at the Saxon mailing list thread here : http://markmail.org/message/m476x6ntpq4n562q#query:saxon%20TransformerException%20%22Too%20many%20nested%20apply-templates%22+page:1+mid:idrf6wvgglxqasu6+state:results could be because the Java system hasn't got enough stack space, so maybe the following might help: * Try running the conversion using the command line utility "xslutilc.bat" as found in your bin folder, where XSL FO is installed. See section 2.5 in the manual(s) found in your doc folder. * If that still fails, edit the file and find this line, at the end: "%java%" -Xss4m -Xmx512m -classpath "%jars%" com.xmlmind.xslutil.Start %* The -Xss4m sets the Java stack size to a maximum of 4Mb. You can probably fiddle with this setting to see if you get further. Try 8Mb or higher to see if it gets fuirther through your transform before barfing or even, if it actually works to completion. I'm sorry but I have not tested the above. For details of the command line usage, see section 2.5 in the manual. (Found in your doc folder). Cheers, Norman.
