Good morning,
I'm playing around with DocBook and basically I love it :-) The first way to really give structure to documents and to also enforce it.
In this context I'm using a custom Schema and xslt Transformation to model some of the content of my document. This all work really great.
Now I want to also change the root element of the docbook file. At the moment it is a <book> but I want it to be a <specificationX>. I added the <specificationX> element to my rnc Schema as follows:
db.specificationX =
element specificationX {
db.common.attributes,
db.specY
}
start |= db.specificationX
The validation of my document works fine but as soon as I get to the XSLT transformation I'm getting an error:
ERROR: Document root element for FO output must be one of the following elements: appendix article bibliography book chapter ....
Obviously I have to advise my stylesheet about the changed root element as well. However, I have no idea, how to do this and could not find any information on this.
Can anybody here give me a hint or point me into the correct direction?
Thanks in advance! Norbert
There are different versions of DocBook and different versions of different stylesheets, you have not explained in any way which version you use but see https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets/blob/master/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl#L122 for instance which sets up
<xsl:variable name="root.elements" select="' appendix article bibliography book chapter colophon dedication glossary index part preface qandaset refentry reference sect1 section set setindex '"/>
which presumably can be changed or overridden from an importing stylesheet to include your customized element name.
