Hi all, I'm new to xmlroff... I'm interested in xmlroff since it is the only FO processor written in C... (fop is written in Java, and I don't like Java stuff, and passiveTeX has problems when rendering tables). Well, I've downloaded, compiled, and installed all the required modules (PangoPDF, PDFLib, etc.), and of course, xmlroff itself without problems... but I'm not able to process any xml file. I've tried to process a FO file generated with xsltproc: xmlroff -o myfile.pdf myfile.fo ... but xmlroff never returns and at the end my PC simply goes down... I get a number of error messages like this: (process:1424): libfo-CRITICAL **: fo-fo-error: FoMarker not allowed as child of FoBlock Object path: /FoTree[1]/root[1]/page-sequence[1]/flow[1]/FoBlock[1] /FoBlock[1]/FoBlock[1]/FoBlock[1]/FoBlock[1]/FoMarker[1] Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

I'm glad that you were able to compile it okay. Can you process xmlroff.fo from the xmlroff distribution? > I've tried to process a FO file generated with xsltproc: > > xmlroff -o myfile.pdf myfile.fo > > ... but xmlroff never returns and at the end my PC simply > goes down... > > I get a number of error messages like this: > > (process:1424): libfo-CRITICAL **: fo-fo-error: > FoMarker not allowed as child of FoBlock > Object path: /FoTree[1]/root[1]/page-sequence[1]/flow[1]/FoBlock[1] > /FoBlock[1]/FoBlock[1]/FoBlock[1]/FoBlock[1]/FoMarker[1] > > Does anybody know how to solve this problem? The problem is that xmlroff does not yet support markers. The partial solution is to park markers in a GList attached to the FO containing the marker (and I added an FoMarkerParent type to do this), but it hasn't been fully implemented since I've spent my recent time getting xmlroff to work with GNOME Print instead of PDFlib. The solution to your problem is to implement marker support. Please file a bug report or enhancement request on SourForge about xmlroff not supporting markers. Ways to get around the lack of marker support include: - Don't generate them - Write a stylesheet to filter them out of your .fo files - Work on marker support yourself In the interim, since xmlroff doesn't support markers, I regret that your output would not look as you expect anyway.

The problem is that I use the DocBook stylesheets, and customize them is not so trivial... Do you think xmlroff will be distributed as the standard FO processor with GNOME just like xsltproc?

Good.

But an identity stylesheet for post-processing the output .fo files with: <xsl:template match="fo:marker"/> is pretty easy. > Do you think xmlroff will be distributed as the standard FO processor > with GNOME just like xsltproc? I wish. I think that xmlroff has to prove its worth (and lose its dependence on PDFlib) before becoming "standard", for any definition of "standard FO processor".

You are using a property that xmlroff does not yet support (but you knew that from the error message, I'm sure). However, an unsupported property should have been ignored rather than having a non-object where you had a non-object. It seems likely that it's a marker-related property, but I can be sure. Can you make the smallest example you can that demonstrates the error and post it on SourceForge?
