[xep-support] Using XEP to do Docbook processing Question (Probably installation)

[Bob Stayton]

That error usually comes about because the DocBook Java extension jar file
is not found in the CLASSPATH to the command.  It looks correct in your CP
variable, so I don't know why it isn't being found.

The reason FOP doesn't give you an error is because it doesn't set
use.extensions=1, so it doesn't try to find the extension function.  If your
results are satisfactory without the extensions, then set use.extensions=0
(or leave it off because that is the default).
