Hi Chris, I think that's the important point. I'll rewrite my transformation tomorrow and have a look. Thanks a lot. Oh, and 20 points for the plausible explanation.

This is why use of disable-output-escaping is so strongly discouraged... When you use XSLT to transform your XML and serialize it to disk, the d-o-e is applied and you get a valid FO. However, when you feed XML and XSLT to FOP, your transformation result is never serialized. The d-o-e directive is never applied, and a poorly-formed XML data structure is passed to FOP, resulting in your error. You will need to rewrite your transformation to avoid use of d-o-e. It is an unfortunate hack that really shouldn’t have been included in XSLT; it is never necessary, and while it enables some quick hacks that would be more complicated otherwise, it also is prone to mysterious breakage like your case. ~Chris -- Chris Maden, text nerd <URL: http://crism.maden.org/ > MISSING: land of free, home of brave.
