In each failing case, I can use "db2ps" or "db2pdf" to successfully convert the XML file, whereas xmlto fails.
yes, passivetex (which is used by xmlto to process XML-FO) is not as
stable as I thought.
It breaks at strange times but I did not yet had the energy to really
look into it.
So we probably have to support db2pdf/ps again.
* Can you make it easy to change the paper size to something custom, like 6x9in ?
you should be able to put the following lines into stylesheet.xsl:
<param name="paper.width">6in</param>
<param name="paper.height">11in</param>
would it be easy enough if I provided some commented out entries?
(well the above only works for xmlto, I don't know how to set
the paper size for db2*)
* Is there an example somewhere describing how to insert graphics (figures and charts) ?
you can insert graphics with
<mediaobject><imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="blah.png" format="PNG"/>
</imageobject></mediaobject>
(See http://www.faqs.org/docs/docbook/html/mediaobject.html)
The above generates an <img src="blah.png"> in HTML mode.
Is that what you want?
