PassiveTeX doesn't like filenames with underscores 2. PassiveTeX, as distributed with RedHat 8, has problems with the size, or line lengths of XSL:FO files created by the DocBook XSL style sheets The first problem can be fixed by renaming the files. But I'd rather not do that, since that would lose file history in CVS. Is there a way to fix this in TeX? I have no idea where to start fixing the second problem. Here are the command lines I used to invoke PassiveTeX, and the error messages they resulted in. The XSL:FO was created from a DocBook 4.1.2 document, using DocBook XSL 1.60.1. $ pdflatex "&pdfxmltex" "install_program.fo" This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417 (Web2C 7.3.3.1) !
