/ Dan York <dyork@e-smith.com> was heard to say:
| 1. Graphics do not appear in the PDF file. They are implemented as
| <mediaobject> in the DocBook file.
Yes, but what formats have you provided in the mediaobject? For PDF, I
think you have to supply PDF or PNG, EPS and GIF won't work.
| 2. More importantly, outside of the missing graphics, the PDF file
| looks fine for the first 19 pages, until it gets to Chapter 4. In
| this chapter, I really just have the following construction:
| <sect1>
| <title></title>
| <table>
| ....
| </table>
| <table>
| ....
| </table>
| </sect1>
Why not just make these two tables part of the preceding section?
(I don't understand the purpose of the section wrapper.)
| Any advice on the DocBook code - or suggestions of other programs
| to try - will be *greatly* appreciated!
Make sure you have the most recent JadeTeX. You might consider converting
your document to XML and trying PassiveTeX and/or FOP.
Be seeing you,
