Thank you for the qyuick assistance in finding the Java extension file for Saxon to convert docbook XML into xml.fo. (Question 41362248/docbook-saxon-toolchain-extension-jar-file-cannot-find-same)

Now, I discovered that I unfortunately cannot find the correct sytle sheets themselves. I tried downloading from the docbook sourceforge project page,

docbook-xsl-doc-1.79.1.zip

from the Files tab, docbook.xsl, 1.79.1, docbook-xsl-1.79.zip

The version I did find that did have docbook.xsl seems to be missing the param.xsl. Here is the error message I got when I attempted to convert with saxon:

Error at xsl:include on line 28 of file:/home/leffstudent/xsl2/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl:
  Failure reading file:/home/leffstudent/xsl2/xsl/fo/param.xsl: /home/leffstudent/xsl2/xsl/fo/param.xsl (No such file or directory)
Transformation failed: Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.

As I wrote in the above-cited question, I had all this set up on the Computer Science server at the University where I teach. Unfortunately, that server was lost. I am trying to recreate the toolchain. I use docbook to create the class notes for two of my courses. And I need this to set up my classes for the Spring 2017 semester.

  • I don't know how to reproduce this problem. **docbook-xsl-1.79.1.zip** downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/1.79.1/ does indeed include fo/param.xsl. – mzjn Dec 29 '16 at 06:25

mzjn provided the solution I needed. I downloaded again
docbook-xsl-1.79.1.zip from sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/1.79.1

I now created the needed class notes and back at work for the new Spring 2017 semester. mzjn should make this the official answer so I can accept it.

  • I did try the instructions in http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/251597/question-with-no-answers-but-issue-solved-in-the-comments, but I was unable to find the indicated things to click to move it to community wiki. – Laurence Leff Jan 01 '17 at 18:10
  • You can accept your own answers (but you probably have to wait a day or two). – mzjn Jan 01 '17 at 19:11
