Reply to: Best practices for customizing PDF output – maintainability of changes
October 22, 2010 at 6:47 pmThere is something odd going on. I cannot override this template.
I have created a file that contains my customization and I import that from customs.xsl.
So custom.xls looks like this.
xmlns:exsl=”http://exslt.org/common”
xmlns:opentopic=”http://www.idiominc.com/opentopic”
xmlns:exslf=”http://exslt.org/functions”
xmlns:opentopic-func=”http://www.idiominc.com/opentopic/exsl/function”
extension-element-prefixes=”exsl”
exclude-result-prefixes=”opentopic exslf opentopic-func”
version=”1.1″>
I can create an output without any problems with this file IF_system_Guide_draft,xsl. That is, i see comments in the PDF output and the appendices don't have a min-toc:
xmlns:exsl=”http://exslt.org/common”
xmlns:opentopic=”http://www.idiominc.com/opentopic”
extension-element-prefixes=”exsl”
exclude-result-prefixes=”opentopic”
version='1.1'>
But as soon as I add the processglossarylist template to my IF_system_guide_draft.xsl file, i get a build error. I haven't even made changes to the template. the message is this. the filename changes randomly each time i try it.
