[18:18] hello, any docbook specialists available? [18:44] slacker_nl: I'll give it my best shot [18:51] mdke: i have a man page in docbook format, and I want to include some bits and pieces, eg copyright info/authors etc [18:51] http://pb.opperschaap.net/266 [18:51] but it doesn't show any author and/or copyright info [18:53] that looks a little weird to me [18:53] have you tried moving this bit inside the xinclude tag instead of in the authorgroup tag? [18:53] yes [18:54] damn, I can't copy and paste [18:54] like this [18:54] http://pb.opperschaap.net/269 [18:55] and run a validation check over your xml file like [18:56] xmllint --noout --xinclude --noent --postvalid file.xml [18:56] see if you get any results [18:57] http://pb.opperschaap.net/270 [18:58] i get the results i'm expecting, the xmllint doesn't like the fact that the authorgroup has multiple authors [18:58] .. .. etc etc, same for copyright.xml with .. [18:59] you can have multiple authors in authorgroup [18:59] that's sort of the point [18:59] :) I know [19:00] try putting your authorgroup inside the separate xml tag instead of in your main file [19:01] ditto for copyright [19:01] i think xinclude requires that the file you are including has a complete tag in it [19:07] no dice [19:07] xmllint doesn't complain, yet it doesn't show anything in the manpage [19:09] how are you viewing it? [19:10] I suppose you could also put everything in the main file rather than separate it out and see if that works. At least then you know what is causing the problem [19:11] mdke: via man ./$outputfile [19:12] mdke: i know that it works if I put everything in the main file - that's how I started it [19:12] but I don't want to update authors/copyright etc in multiple files [19:13] I don't know how man displays xml. if xmllint isn't complaining, then there isn't an issue with the xml [19:13] perhaps man doesn't support xinclude? [19:13] i'm using docbook2x-man and xsltproc to create the man page [19:14] this is the output of xsltproc [19:14] http://pb.opperschaap.net/271 [19:16] I think i've run out of ideas I'm afraid [19:16] sorry [19:17] you're using "xsltproc --xinclude" I guess? [19:17] nope, without [19:17] ah, that might be it [19:18] you need that [19:18] mm [19:18] ty, now see if docbook2x-man has similar options [19:20] bbl === Zeike is now known as brandonj === Zeike is now known as brandonj
