This is a teTeX limitation, and modifying texmf.cnf doesn't actually seem to get the limit beyond 300000. Ideally we would be able to convince xsltproc to limit the line length of its output. In the mean time I've used sed in the xmlto format scripts to shorten the line lengths. (Although in your particular example there seems to be another problem after that.) Should be fixed upstream in xmlto-0.0.15pre2 (http://cyberelk.net/tim/xmlto). |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: The indicated URL is a DocBook document listing all of the character entitities in the DocBook DTD. (It was intended as a reference document.) It has a section for each *.ent file in the DTD, and each section is a list with one short descriptive element for each character entity. When I run xmlto ps charent-nobreak.xml the xmlto script crashes, with the following output: ----- begin output ----- Making portrait pages on USletter paper (8.5inx11in) ! Unable to read an entire line---bufsize=200000. Please increase buf_size in texmf.cnf. This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1) (tmp.fo LaTeX2e <2001/06/01> Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, i talian, nohyphenation, loaded. xmltex version: 2000/09/07 v1.8y (Exp): (/usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/xmltex.cfg) No File: tmp.cfg ----- end output ----- I did a bit of investigating, and found that the intermediate output produced by xsltproc consists of one very long line, with no line breaks at all. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xmlto-0.0.12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get charent-nobreak.xml from the above URL 2. Run the command "xmlto ps charent-nobreak.xml". Actual Results: The xmlto script crashes, with the following output: ----- begin output ----- Making portrait pages on USletter paper (8.5inx11in) ! Unable to read an entire line---bufsize=200000. Please increase buf_size in texmf.cnf. This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1) (tmp.fo LaTeX2e <2001/06/01> Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, i talian, nohyphenation, loaded. xmltex version: 2000/09/07 v1.8y (Exp): (/usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/xmltex.cfg) No File: tmp.cfg ----- end output ----- Expected Results: Should have produced charent-nobreak.ps.
