Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: need help with Passivetex errors (part 1 of 2))
Oh, I see part of the problem: when I resent the attachment, I failed to send it to the DocBook APPS list. Let's try this again. The attached zip file contains the results of my processing a test XML file through XSLTPROC and then through PassiveTeX. I have the PassiveTeX extensions set. For this test, I left the nominal.table.width at the default value (6"). I also tried this test with nominal.table.width set at 5.5", with the same results. Shouldn't that take care of any relative table width problems? Note, the table on page 4 of the PDF. I'll follow this message with the log (the mailer won't accept a zip of both files). Note the question marks that start popping up at around line 643 in the .log file: ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> \fotable5:3 l.715 ...ble-row></fo:table-header><fo:table-body> <fo:table-row><fo:table-ce... ? ! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted). <to be read again> \fotable5:3 l.715 ...ble-row></fo:table-header><fo:table-body> <fo:table-row><fo:table-ce... ? What does that mean, anyway? I get 72 occurrences of this type of error, but only when I include the table in the document.
