redirect:write and friends: possible bug
I posted a note earlier today about redirecting outputs
--had sent that after searching the docs in vain--
later I found redirect:write
in the main extensions page.
I now have my slides translator working --thanks!--
and in hte process spotted a possible bug when having
multiple simultaneous streams open.
I am generating a table of contents slide --as well as
individual html pages for each slide --using a two pass
transform via call-template.
If I call the table of contents genrator first --this
results in the toc file being open while the rest of the
slides are processed --and due to what I suspect is a bug,
the toc slide never receives all its output.
If you have that output go to stdout --then all the output
does show up --so I suspect someone is not flushing some
stream.
If I rearrange the call order in the style rule the bug is
avoided.
Here is what I mean:
The following works
<xsl:template match="slides">
<!-- first process all slides --writing each to a separate
file -->
<xsl:apply-templates />
<!-- now finally write out the table of contents -->
<redirect:write file="index.html">
<xsl:call-template name="toc"/>
</redirect:write>
</xsl:template>
The above bombs --
<xsl:template match="slides">
<!-- start writing out the Table of contents -->
<redirect:write file="index.html">
<xsl:call-template name="toc"/>
</redirect:write>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
