Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Docbook XML 4.1.2 parse problem

[Eric Richardson <eric at milagrosoft dot com>]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. 

The upgrade of Xerces to 1.2.1 helped so I was able to produce xhtml and
fo from docbook xml with Xalan 1.2. Then I was able to use fop 0.14 to
create pdf.

Now that the tools work I guess that means I have to do something.

Eric :-)
