Bug#422998: dblatex fail on docbook table generated by moinmoin

[Andreas Hoenen]

Hello Petter,

I think your example does not show a dblatex problem, but an invalid
(ugly) and broken (crucial) DocBook input:

1) The input is no valid DocBook document.  Generally you can't expect
   the transformation to work properly if the input is not of the
   required format.  In this special case you are lucky, after fixing 2)
   the remaining deviations from the DocBook DTD (validated against
   DocBook versions 4.2 and 4.5) do not break the transformation.

2) Some namestart and nameend attributes refer to undefined columns:
   'xxx0' and 'xxx8'.  How shall the corresponding elements get
   rendered?  No chance for an automatic processor.  This one breaks the
   dblatex transformation, after replacing 'xxx0' by 'xxx1' and 'xxx8'
   by 'xxx7' the transformation succeeds.

You may want to reassign this bug report to one of the moinmoin
packages, otherwise I would suggest to close it.  (Unless you disagree
to my argumentation :-) In which case feel free to contradict.)

Regards, Andreas

OK.  Reassigning.  As far as I can see from the machine in question,
it is running python-moinmoin version 1.5.3-0bpo1, but I have no
reason to believe that this problem isn't present in version 1.5.3-1.2
in Etch.

I have not enoght knowledge about the topic to argue. :)

Bug#422998: dblatex fail on docbook table generated by moinmoin

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: dblatex
Version: 0.2-2

I discovered this problem when trying to generate a PDF version of a
book the Debian Edu project are editing on a moinmoin wiki.  It proved
to be a problem with a table generated by moinmoin, which dblatex
didn't like.  To test with the original moinmoin instance, do this:

  GET 'http://wiki.skolelinux.no/BugTest?action=formatmimetype=xml/docbook' \
  BugTest.xml
  dblatex -T simple -o BugTest.pdf BugTest.xml

The raw moinmoin  look like this (indented):

The generated docbook XML code look like this (indented and
reformatted for easier read):

When running  dblatex, this is the output, and it fail to generate a PDF:

  % dblatex -T simple -o BugTest.pdf BugTest.xml

I managed to solve it by inserting space between the || in the raw
document.  This gave me docbook code acceptable by dblatex.
