--> XMLmind XML Editor does not invoke command-line tools such as Saxon,
RenderX XEP, FOP, etc. Instead, it loads the ``engine part'' of these
tools, which is more reliable, more efficient and easier to deploy.
A plug-in has been developed to integrate the RenderX XEP engine into
XMLmind.
You can download and install this plug-in using Options|Install Add-ons.
This plug-in requires XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition in order
to work, unless you use it with RenderX XEP *Personal* Edition.
--> If you are already using this plug-in:
[1] We don't understand how you could get different output when you use
the RenderX XEP command line.
Our guess is that this is not related to RenderX XEP at all, but
instead, this is caused by the parameters passed by XMLmind to the
DocBook XSL style sheet.
[2] You'll find these parameters in
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/xslMenu.incl.
Please open this file using a text editor and search string "docb.toPS".
DocBook XSL style sheets, and then RenderX XEP, are applied to the
document being edited by the means of a ``process command''.
What follows is the part of process command "docb.toPS" which might
interest you:

<transform stylesheet="xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"

Customizing the DocBook XSL style sheets (without having to modify the
stock configuration files) is explained here:
