I've just finished reading every last message on bugs #181444, #184072, #184086, and #234884. I am experiencing the exact same problems. Noteably,
- problem occurs with pdfxmltex _and_ xmltex (some people report pdfxmltex works) - stripping the id tags from the fo:list-item hasn't helped - i386 architecture Please find attached a transcript, containing the error messages received and where to find sample.xml and shameless-hack.xsl, which are attached to the aformentioned reports already. You will notice that the complaint in xmltex is about the tag 'hyphenation-character-count'. Following the lead of shameless-hack.xsl, I wrote shameless-hack-2.xsl to remove those attributes (attached). xmltex and pdfxmltex were happy with the result. Please let me know how I may help to get this fixed, it's enormously irritating :-) ii xmltex 1.9-10 TeX package for processing XML files -- Jon Dowland
