Re: Need more diagnostic info from FOP ... how?

Trevor,
Hm. I'm not sure but, I think that you're having a "dueling spec 
collision" problem. The old spec used "master-name" the new spec uses 
"master-reference". I don't think the change has yet been released in 
FOP since the spec change is only a few weeks old. Do a search and 
replace on the DocBook XSL stylesheets. Replace master-reference with 
master-name.

The FOP "Holliday release" should handle the new spec properly but, 
we're a week or so away from that release.

as there's no additional info on that error that helps me find the cause

Here's the command line I'm using
~/Fop-0.20.2/fop.sh -d \
 -xsl /home/trevor/docbook-xsl-1.47-experimental/fo/docbook.xsl \
 -xml proposal.xml \
 -pdf proposal.pdf
The .xml file itself is about 25K. I've tried a (non DocBook) stylesheet
and fop generates a pdf file.
Both the stylesheets and Fop are "out of the box".

I think these error messages aren't that bad, they give you atleast a hint ;-)

The problem seems to be that the 1.47 experimental DocBook XSL stylesheets are
using the XSL-FO Recommendation syntax and  Fop-0.20.2RC (which you are using,
I guess) supports Candidate Recommendation syntax.

So possible solutions are:

1) Use latest FOP from CVS ('fop-0_20_2-maintain' branch)
2) Wait for FOP 0.20.2 final (which should be ready some days after X-Mas)
3) use older DocBook XSL stylesheets
