[xep-support] Validation fails

[Gerald D. Sheehan]

Hi Nikolai,

Are you implying then that this is a bug in StyleVision? Ignoring the
validity problems doesn't solve my issue since it will not give me my
results in the PDF preview. I don't have this problem using the Apache
FOP Processor.

Thanks for your help in clarifying this.

Font family and size on regions are reported as errors in XEP since
version 3.0, released several months ago; nothing changed in XEP 3.31
wrt 3.21 in this respect.

As for the contents of the error message: specifying font properties on
fo:region-body makes no sense since no text node may ever inherit these
values - fo:region-* are empty nodes. To specify default font for a
region, you have to set it on fo:flow/fo:static-content that fills that
region, or on a higher element (fo:page-sequence or fo:root).

This is a typical problem when using XEP with XSL-FO stylesheets
generated by Stylevision 5.3. To go ahead, you should set one of XEP
options to ignore validity problems:

  - DISCARD_IF_NOT_VALID=false instructs XEP to go ahead
    despite validation errors (you see the messages but XEP does not
stop);

 - VALIDATE=false turns validation completely off.

Best regards,
