Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] hr separator? insert external HTML code?
This is very interesting and reveals another problem with my XSLT processing. I receive this error message [Saxon6.5.5] ERROR: dbhtml-include processing instruction href has no content. [Saxon6.5.5] Writing OEBPS/nt001.html for chapter(nt001) Here is what I have in nt001.xml file. .... <para>test </para> <?dbhtml-include href="fragment1.html"?> <para>test over </para> fragment1.html exists in the same directory as the other xml files and contains <html> <p><strong> Hello! Hello! Hello! </strong> </p> <hr /> </html> The instructions seem straightforward enough. Do I need to enable a parameter or is there something wrong with my Saxon processor on Oxygen 11? (docbook xsl 1.75.2 ) (btw, I'm going to start a new thread in a few seconds about a related matter).
