Description David Mason 2000-04-20 14:59:54 UTC
There is a bug identified by Norman Walsh, the creator of the DocBook
Modular Stylesheets that deals with the proper creation of TeX for the pa
and pdf backends.

The problem produces TeX errors similar to:

"! Text line contains an invalid character.
l.7280 {^^@
           ^^@}\def\sbNom%
A funny symbol that I can't read has just been input.
Continue, and I'll forget that it ever happened."

The new DSSSL sheets found at http://nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/db154.zip fix
the problem. We should make a new rpm as soon as possible as the mailing
lists are filling up with people complaining about their broken Red Hat
SGML systems.

Fixed in stylesheets-1.54.13rh-1; I decided to include
the docbook DSSSL version in the package version to simplify
things a little.  Off to bang on psgml some more.

This bug has previously been reported.  Look at kdenetwork bugs.  However, the
querry does not work when searching for bugs now.  See bugreports 4286 and 2990.
Typically, your ISP will assign you a host name of "yourloginname.provider.sub".
For instance I dial into inlink and my username is djl002 so: djl002.inlink.com.


FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
