docbook-apps

Hello,

recently I have started using sitemaps with my documentation. We are
generating HTML and FO, so I set up two sitemaps: one that xincludes
html xref files (produced via html stylesheets), and one xincluding fo
xref files (produced via fo stylesheets).

The HTML version of the process works very well, all my documents
cross-link nicely.
However, I get errors in the PDF (FO) generation process:

Error: unresolved olink: targetdoc/targetptr =
'UsersGuide/custom_expr_evaluation'.

I'm not sure what is wrong here. The same xml sources work fine when
generating HTML. Also, quickly browsing the generated fo target database
shows a toplevel element with targetptr="UsersGuide", and a (nested)
child with targetptr="custom_expr_evaluation".

Any idea what may cause the above failure ? Or, how I may debug this ?

I'm using docbook-xsl 1.73.2, FWIW.

Thanks,
Stefan

I have debugged this a bit, and got a little closer to the cause of the
failure:

It turns out the target.database.file was opened fine. It contains a
<sitemap>, where all individual target db documents are pulled in via
xi:include. However, if I process with the fo stylesheets, those
xi:includes aren't processed, thus no targetptr could be found.

Any idea what may have caused this ? I'm using xsltproc --xinclude (and
xinclude processing of the docbook sources works fine, only the target
db files aren't read in.

Has anybody seen similar failures in the past ? Am I doing something
wrong ? Could it be an error in the stylesheets ? A bug in xsltproc ?

Thanks for any help !

Try to add the option --xincludestyle.

Thanks, that seems to have worked. I'm still confused, though. Why did
it work with the HTML stylesheets without that option, but not with the
FO stylesheets ? It seems the behavior is influenced by something in the
stylesheets, as my processing from XML to HTML is very similar to XML to FO.

(I had gone back and replaced the xincludes by system entities to work
around the bug, but I do prefer using xincludes.)

Thanks,
Stefan
