[xep-support] Re: Spurious validation errors for Oxygen topic.fo files

[Kevin Brown]

Patrick:

The SVG is surely just a pathing issue.

I would create a copy of xep.bat and call it xepnovalid.bat or something.
Set up a new transform in oXygen that calls this .bat file. In side this
.bat file, use:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java" -classpath "%CP%"
com.renderx.xep.XSLDriver "-DCONFIG=C:\Program Files
(x86)\RenderX\XEP\xep.xml" -valid %*

Thus, forcing -valid to the command line.

Thanks for this.  

Some progress -- I can now get results by rinning xep from the command line,
but:
-- svg graphics which previously rendered happily to pdf now don't;  and
-- I'll have to figure out from Syncrosoft why inserting "-valid" into
Oxygen's call to XEP (through the command string in Oxygen preferences)
doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
