using xmlmind 6.0, I have a docbook 5 book and I use docbook PDF
conversion with some custom stylesheet parameters which I have added to
the table in Save File dialog.
I am trying to achieve the same conversion with command line. I have
created a stylesheet and tried using it with xxetool. Interestingly it
ignores my xml file and continues with the settings from the dialog box.
Here is the command line:
xxetool convert -t PDF_A3_2Columns.xml -p hyphenate 0 db5.toPSFile "Users Guide.xml" -s
pdf -s"|pdf" -u out.pdf
and here is the PDF_A3_2Columns.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
version="1.0">
<xsl:import
href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl"/>
<xsl:param name="column.count.back">2</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="column.count.body">2</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="column.count.index">2</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="column.count.lot">2</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="page.orientation">landscape</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="page.type">A3</xsl:param>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Questions:
1. I guess ideally I shall use the docbook.xml from the XMLMind
addon\config\docbook5\xsl\fo\ dir. How can I do that
Using XXE's stock XML catalogs, xxetool automatically maps
"http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl"; to
the local copy found in "XXE_install_dir\addon\config\docbook\xsl\fo\".
Hence nothing to do!

IMPORTANT

Note that PDF_A3_2Columns.xml imports
"http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl";
which is unusable for DocBook v5 documents.
"http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl";
applies to DocBook v4 documents.
Please replace:
"http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl";
by:
"http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/fo/docbook.xsl";
As explained in a previous email, DocBook 4 (no namespace; DTD) is
totally different from DocBook 5 (has a namespace; RELAX NG schema).
2. Why would my stylesheet ignored?
Your stylesheet is *not* ignored. However some of its parameters are.
If you want to check this, please run "xxetool -vvv ..." to see what
happens.
Example used to test your PDF_A3_2Columns.xml (of course, after fixing
the path of docbook.xsl):
$ xxetool convert -vvv -t ~/tmp/PDF_A3_2Columns.xml -p hyphenate 0
db5.toPSFile t.xml -s pdf -s "|pdf" -u out.pdf
Some of PDF_A3_2Columns.xml parameters are ignored because those
specified in XXE's "Convert Document" dialog box take precedence.
There is nothing to do to change this.
Ignored:
<xsl:param name="page.type">A3</xsl:param>
Not ignored:
<xsl:param name="column.count.back">2</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="column.count.body">2</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="column.count.index">2</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="column.count.lot">2</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="page.orientation">landscape</xsl:param>
