Hi Robert, Basically the stylesheet used to obtain the OPF file from the Docbook content:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/docbook/xsl/epub/docbook.xsl

contains inside it constructs like:

//d:book[d:bookinfo]|

These templates correctly matches Docbook 4 books (for which the information was added in "bookinfo" elements) but does not correctly match Docbook 5 books (where the information is inside "info" elements). I will probably start a discussion about this with somebody on the Docbook side, the fix seems simple to me, additional XPath selectors need to be added to match "info" elements (in each place where "bookinfo" was used as a matching condition).

Hi, I tried in XML Author to transform a small and simple docbook file using the included build.xml file.

I used an example file already included with Oxygen. I added a chapter and removed the address element (for reasons explained below).

I used the ant script to transform this small xml file into epub. I did produce an epub file, but it did not validate with epubcheck.

Here are the validation messages:

SystemID: zip:file:/I:/My Documents/My Dropbox/xml/oxygen-mytest/out/dummy.epub!/content.opf Engine name: EpubCheck Severity: error Description: item with id 'd0e2' not found Start location: 1:0

Here is the content.opf file. I put marks where there were problems

The ant log is below. Please note that I later ran the db2epub.py script via command line with no customization layer using docbook-xsl-1.76.1 and produced an epub file validated by epubcheck. The index.html file was correctly referenced.

A few other notes. First, db2epub.py did produce a kind of html output error with the address containing a single invalid p tag. I don't know what's going on with that, but that could be a docbook xsl bug.

Second, I seem to recall that when my customization layer referenced the namespaced version of the epub docbook xsl that occasionally it produced extra references in content.opf. Keith Fahlgren basically said it was related to using the namespaced XSL when making epub transforms.

I would appreciate any insight you can shed on this. Thanks. Robert
