RE: DOCBOOK: Problems creating pdf file of tdg

[Kraa de Simon <Simon dot de dot Kraa at icl dot nl>]

Ehm. classpath? extensions/saxon643.jar?

Ok, next try:

C:\TMP>echo %classpath%
C:\tmp\docbook-xsl-1.48\extensions\saxon643.jar
C:\TMP>saxon\saxon defguide\en\book.xml docbook-xsl-1.48\fo\docbook.xsl
1>tdg.fo
Making portrait pages on USletter paper (8.5inx11in)
prefaceinfo encountered, but no template matches.
pubdate encountered, but no template matches.
releaseinfo encountered, but no template matches.
Error at xsl:copy-of on line 177 of
file:/C:/TMP/docbook-xsl-1.48/fo/table.xsl:

Does this mean I should go out to the bookstore and buy a printed copy of
TDG? (-;

I can't say I've done it, but I do recognize that
error.  Now that you have turned on extensions to
process the text inclusion, you are running into
a missing extension in another template, this
time in table.xsl.

Did you include the appropriate Saxon extensions
file, such as extensions/saxon643.jar, in your CLASSPATH?
You'll need to do that to get the extension code.
