Re: Customizing a DocBook file with a custom xsl-fo file

My answer assumes that your ".xml" document is a DocBook 5 one, not a 
DocBook 4.x one, not a DocBook 5.1 one.

Your screenshots show that you did everything right, moreover the quick, 
simple and easy way. Congratulations!

--> The problem seem to lie in the content of your custom "xsl_fo_test.xsl".

Please send us (privately to mailto:[email protected] if you prefer) 
your "xsl_fo_test.xsl" so we can give you a precise diagnostic and 
hopefully some fixes. <--



Just for the reference, please find attached to this email, a template 
of what could be such custom ".xsl" file.

This template has been created automatically using the "Customize..." 
button. (You have used "Add" which is OK too; difference explained here: 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/ConversionStylesheetsEditor_reference.html) 
It contains:

----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?stylesheet-label Test?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                 xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
                 version="1.0">

   <xsl:import href="docbook5-config:xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"/>

   <!-- REDEFINE PARAMETERS AND ATTRIBUTE-SETS HERE -->

</xsl:stylesheet>

ALTERNATIVELY: If you prefer to do everything "by hand", the reference 
is found here:

existing configuration, 10. Customizing the XSLT style sheets used in 
the Convert Document submenu",

A template equivalent to attached "docbook_custom.xsl" is referenced in 
this page:
