[Refdb-users] DUMMY style entries

[Markus H. <hoe...@co...>]

Hi,

when you add a new style from the XML source, the new style is called
"DUMMY" until the appropriate name tag appears during the sequential
parsing. If you get DUMMY entries, either the style import is
incomplete (in this case you should get an error message) or your
style does not have a name (i.e. a <journalname> entry).

Please validate your styles again, and if this doesn't show any
errors, please add a style with loglevel set to 7 and see whether you
notice anything unusual.

regards,
Markus
