State of play with FOP and DocBook stylesheets...

[Stuart Hungerford <st...@zveno.com>]

Hi all,

Apologies if this question has been answered recently, the list archives
only
show messages up to the end of November.

Has anyone successfully used FOP with a DocBook document produced using
the 1.24 stylesheets from Norm Walsh?

I'm seeing this error with the latest FOP CVS version:

Any advice much appreciated...
