Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] xml/docbook/dsssl - dbtable error
I figured out the problem, so I'm posting here in case anyone ever goes lookinng for a solution: You need a <!DOCTYPE ...> declaration in your XML file and the Jade catalog file needs to know where the DTD lives. Also, my markup was a bit corrupt. DocBook expects <thead>,<tfoot>,<tbody>. I wrote it in the more logical but incorrect head, body, foot order. This fixed it. I hope this helps the others who were having the same problem. -k -----Original Message----- From: Karl Critz Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 3:02 PM To: docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [docbook-apps] xml/docbook/dsssl - dbtable error This is a problem which has been reported before, but I found no solutions so I'll ask it again: I'm using a DocBook XML document, OpenJade, and the DSSSL stylesheets for RTF output. They work OK, but I get an error when processing tables: dbtable.dsl:224:13:E: 2nd argument for primitive "ancestor" of wrong type: "#<unknown object 138562344>" not a singleton node list The generated RTF contains formal table titles but no table content when viewed in emacs. The generated document is viewable in WordPad, but makes MS Word freeze. The document is included below. I have tried this with stylesheets v1.56, v1.78, and a frankenstein monster of 1.56 with 1.78's dbtable.dsl. All resulted in the same error message. What can I do to fix this? Change the way I write tables? Change my stylesheets? thanks -k ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous mentions of this problem: * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200111/msg00180.html This was with v1.56 and Norm suggested upgrading to a more recent version. * http://sources.redhat.com/ml/docbook-apps/2004-q1/msg00354.html This was with v1.77 and there was no reply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The document.
