Re: [css2xslfo-support] Fw: An empty output .fo file with no complaints

[Werner D. <wer...@re...>]

Hi Sergey,

Thank you for the message. In your case the tool is silent because
technically speaking there is no problem. Using XHTML tags without
the XHTML namespace is considered to be another XML language. Since
CSSToXSLFO is intended to work with any XML language it goes through
the document and finds no match, which is legal in CSS. You would
have the same behaviour with an XSLT style sheet for example.

Technically, the built-in User Agent style sheet is written for the
XHTML namespace, which is why nothing matches. If you would write
an alternative User Agent style sheet without a namespace, your document
would work.

Of course, since there is built-in support for XHTML I could write out
a warning when the "html" tag is used without the XHTML namespace,
which is what I will do for the next release.

Best regards,

Werner.
