Perhaps I'm not being specific enough. What I'm asking for is an option to have XXE not delete its intermediate files during conversion, especially if the conversion terminates in an error. If I had been able to examine the __doc.fo file that XEP reported the error on, I could quickly have found the NaN% values instead of spending a frustrating hour tracking the problem down (I kept examining my figures, screenshots, imageobjects, and imagedata elements. There was a "graphic" element which I had completely forgotten about.)
Surely retaining the intermediate files is a reasonable thing to do. I don't see any option for it in the documentation. - dam On May 19, 2005, at 10:19 AM, Hussein Shafie wrote: > David Mundie wrote: >> On 2005-May-19, at 08:27, Hussein Shafie wrote: >>> David Mundie wrote: >>> >>>> Maybe I've missed it in the documentation, but how does one debug >>>> this sort of thing?
