FW: FW: Convertion error: A sequence of more than one item is not allowed as the first operand of 'eq'

Hi Hussein,
thanks for your quick support!
Both workarounds work fine for me.

When do you think will XMLmind DITA Converter support this type of glossary?
It seems to be a standard DITA feature. At mentioned earlier DITA OT supports it without problems.

Thanks and greetings,
Frank

After looking at your sample ditamap, we have realized that the
following way of authoring a glossary is absolutely not supported by
XMLmind DITA Converter, the DITA processor included in XMLmind XSL Utility:

---
<glossarylist>
   <topicref href="glossary_entry1.dita"/>
   <topicref href="glossary_entry2.dita"/>
   <topicref href="glossary_entry3.dita"/>
   <topicref href="glossary_entry4.dita"/>
   <topicref href="glossary_entry5.dita"/>
</glossarylist>
---

Why that? Well...it's a basically an omission in our implementation!

Therefore this is not a simple bug we could fix today in order to very
quickly send you a patch. It will take some time to support this style
of glossarylist. Sorry for that.

Meanwhile, we suggest A) or B):

Workaround A)
-------------

1) to move your glossary out of <booklists>, that is:

---
   <backmatter>
     <booklists>
       <figurelist/>
       <tablelist/>
       <glossarylist>
         <topicref href="glossary_app_context.dita"/>
       </glossarylist>
       <indexlist/>
     </booklists>
   </backmatter>
---

becomes:

---
   <backmatter>
     <topicref href="glossary.dita"/>
     <booklists>
       <figurelist/>
       <tablelist/>
       <indexlist/>
     </booklists>
   </backmatter>
---

2) to group all your <glossentry>s into a single <glossgroup>. Let's
suppose file glossary.dita contains such <glossgroup>:

---
<!DOCTYPE glossgroup PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Glossary Group//EN"
"glossgroup.dtd">
<glossgroup id="glossary_app_context">
   <title>Glossary</title>

   <glossentry id="glossentry-app_context-1" xml:lang="de-DE">
     <glossterm>APP_CONTEXT</glossterm>

     <glossdef>Definition...</glossdef>
   </glossentry>

   <glossentry id="glossentry-app_context-2" xml:lang="de-DE">
     <glossterm>APP_CONTEXT</glossterm>

     <glossdef>Definition...</glossdef>
   </glossentry>
</glossgroup>
---


Workaround B)
-------------

Alternatively, what follows seems to work too:

---
   <backmatter>
     <booklists>
       <figurelist/>
       <tablelist/>
       <glossarylist href="glossary.dita"/>
       <indexlist/>
     </booklists>
   </backmatter>
---

Notice that here too, all your <glossentry>s are grouped into a single
<glossgroup>.
