Hello, As known the Valgrind documentation is in DocBook format, and that documentation is converted into PDF via PassiveTex. PassiveTeX is no longer maintained (last update was in March 2004, four years ago) and has fallen behind in its implementation of the XSL-FO specification. There are other XSL-FO converters, e.g. FOP. FOP version 0.94, as included in OpenSUSE 11.0, seems functional enough to convert the Valgrind documentation from XSL-FO to docbook format. However, errors in the current DocBook documentation prevent FOP to finish the conversion. It would be great if these errors could be fixed, such that we can switch from PassiveTeX to FOP. See also the following URL for more information about the error message printed by FOP and how to find its cause: http://www.nabble.com/fop-throws-a-javax.xml.transform.TransformerException-td16840978.html Bart. |
