Description of problem: Publican is using the same /usr/share/publican/xsl/html-single.xsl to generate both pdf and html outputs when using --formats=pdf,html-single. The pdf should use pdf.xsl Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2-8-3 sid : http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/publican How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. publican build --nocolours --common_content --formats=pdf,html-single --lang=all Actual results: The pdf is generated using html-single.xsl Expected results: The pdf is generated using pdf.xsl Additional info: ||/ Nom Version Description +++-===================-===================-====================================================== ii docbook-xsl 1.76.1+dfsg-1 stylesheets for processing DocBook XML to various outp ii publican 2.8-3 Tool for publishing material authored in DocBook XML
Same with ubuntu's 2-8-2 @ http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/publican/download
This is expected, if poorly thought out, behavior in Publican 2.8 which has wkhtmltopdf as a tech preview. If wkhtmltopdf is installed Publican will detect it and use that to generate PDF's instead of FOP. pdf.xsl is for FO generation and specifically designed for FOP. You need to uninstall wkhtmltopdf to change back to FOP and pdf.xsl. In Publican 3 there is a html-pdf.xsl file which does some tweaking of the standard HTML output so that wkhtmltopdf can do better page breaking and header formatting. Not closing this as we might want to reconsider a better way of switching between FOP and wkhtmltopdf for Publican 3. P.S. I'm assuming you actually have wkhtmltopdf installed, if not then there must be a bug in the way we are checking if it's installed.
Publican 3.0 uses separate xsl files for these outputs.
