Hi – make sure you’ve got the right version of FOP installed. I assume I’ve been using FOP 0.20.5

Hi
I was trying to build the documentation, and I also downloaded your zip file; however, both with your project and mine, I always get this error:

BUILD FAILED
how-to-use-wikitext/build.xml:49: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/fop/apps/FopFactory

Just a note that I got the scaling to work right by doing an additional XSL transform. I’ll try to blog about it in the not to distant future.

Peter,

I’ve been trying for a couple of days now to get the PDF target to treat my images nicely. I’m using the (barely modified) xtext target. I’ve played around with every imaginable scaling setting for doxbook xsl. With scalefit it looks terrible because everything gets expanded to the same size, and without it the images are all way too large for the document. I guess the issue is that docbook can’t find the graphics.extension. And (I think) got the xalan and xerces graphics extensions installed. (I wasn’t able to get the Saxon version working) but apparantly docbook doesn’t even report when it can’t find the extensions so I don’t know if I have that.

Anyway, I’m wondering if you’ve run into the same issue and if you’ve been able to resolve it what the magic formula is.

cheers,

Miles

Look’s really great. Trying to reproduce but …
Neither https://textile-j.dev.java.net/builds/wikitext/index.html nor the zip file are accessible since 2 days. Can you check this?

Hi again,

I managed to download the zip-file. It must have been some sort of temporary server malfunction.

Anyway, when I unpack and run ant, I get an error:

Anders, the ZIP file works fine for me (I just downloaded it, unzipped it and sucessfully ran the build file). Please retry downloading it. If this still fails, ping me at peter d o t friese a t itemis d o t d e and we can try to figure out where the problem is.

@pangea: try to refresh your workspace (press F5), this should do the trick.

Hi,

I can’t download the zip-file?

When I try to manually recreate your example, I get a “taskdef class org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.pdf.core.util.anttask.MarkupToPdfTask cannot be found” error.

I would love some help since the ability to generate PDFs is really a necessity, if I am going to introduce wikitext on my current project.
