docbook style sheets param.xsl

238 views Asked by At

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.

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.
