Description Enrico Scholz 2004-01-14 04:33:56 UTC
Description of problem:

Generated PDF output is cluttered by measurement tags.
E.g.

-----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
                        
"/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.2-1.0-22.1/docbookx.dtd">

<article>
  <section>
    <title>test</title>
    <simpara>test</simpara>
  </section>
</article>
-----

| $ xmlto pdf test.xml

produces an PDF file which contains

"- -4pc - -4pc"

in the upper left corner. Same happens at lists also.
A document which demostrates this is available at
http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~ensc/fedora.us-build/files/buildsystem.pdf

Fixed in 1.64.1-3.

(2nd page).

Comment 5 Enrico Scholz 2004-01-19 21:43:09 UTC
Cool, measurement tags disappeared with -5. But unfortunately, the
text went away with it :(

For an example, just replace the 'test' para above with a long
sentence. The result will be a text in an only 2-3 cm wide column at
the right side

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2004-01-19 22:01:10 UTC
Yes, it all seems to be broken whichever way I look at it. :-(

We might have to back off to an earlier docbook-xsl revision for
XSL-FO output.

Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2004-01-20 11:45:47 UTC
Okay, think it's really fixed now.

Comment 8 Enrico Scholz 2004-01-22 01:09:09 UTC
Thanks, output is ok now
