[xep-support] [SPAM] Re: Re: Troubleshooting DITA environment and output

That did the trick thanks. Went back to the original FO that was generated
by the DITA OT and XEP produced the file without any modifications.

Kevin, do you have any insights on how close the errors are reported to
their actual location based upon the last page number displayed?
