Subject: ePub creation error, stock Sherlock Holmes source
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
I am new to asciidoc and am unable to build epub files from the
document sources available on the website. For this discussion I am
using the Sherlock Holmes text from here:
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/publishing-ebooks-with-asciidoc.htm...

When I issue the following command:

> a2x -fepub -dbook adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.txt

I receive:

> a2x: ERROR: xsltproc --stringparam part.autolabel 0 --stringparam chapter.autolabel 0 --stringparam section.autolabel.max.depth 0 --stringparam callout.graphics 0 --stringparam navig.graphics 0 --stringparam admon.textlabel 1 --stringparam admon.graphics 0 --stringparam html.stylesheet adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.css --stringparam toc.section.depth 1 --stringparam chunk.section.depth 0  /etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/epub.xsl /tmp/adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.xml returned non-zero exit status 5

How might I debug this? I am using asciidoc 8.6.3.

Thank you,
Brian Troutwine

$ man xsltproc

1. Look under DIAGNOSTICS section: exit code 5 = Error in the stylesheet

2. Cut an paste the failing xsltproc command and include the xsltproc --verbose
option to get an idea of where the stylesheets are failing.

Cheers, Stuart

Following Stuart's advise, the error I am presented with is:

warning: failed to load external entity
"http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"
compilation error: file /etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/epub.xsl line 13
element import
xsl:import : unable to load
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl

Presumably this is related to the recent trouble's SourceForge has
been having. I _do_ have the docbook 1.76.1, which
/etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/epub.xsl assures me will be preferred. I do
not have any epub/docbook.xsl bundled with my local docbook, however.

Is 1.76.1 too old?

The URL is fine. I've just successfully built the
adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.epub on stock Xubuntu 10.04 with AsciiDoc 8.6.3 so
the problem has to be something to do with your stylesheets or stylesheets
catalog configuration. Can you generate PDF? i.e.

a2x -v -fpdf adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.txt

Or is it just EPUB that's the problem?

BTW, the a2x -fepub -dbook options are redundant, all the correct options are
included in the adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.txt source file header so this is
all that's required to generate EPUB is:

a2x adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.txt

Cheers, Stuart

> Is 1.76.1 too old?

No, I use 1.75.2 on Xubuntu 10.04.

I can, quite successfully. I'm using an up-to-date Arch Linux; my
AsciiDoc and Docbook versions were mentioned previously.

I can generate a PDF. So, what can I do to get asciidoc working? How
do I check the correctness of my stylesheets catalog, for instance?

Run the xsltproc command from the command-line with the --verbose option, this
should give you more information about the problem:

asciidoc --backend docbook  --doctype book --attribute docinfo
adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.txt

xsltproc --verbose --stringparam part.autolabel 0 --stringparam
chapter.autolabel 0 --stringparam section.autolabel.max.depth 0 --stringparam
callout.graphics 0 --stringparam navig.graphics 0 --stringparam admon.textlabel
1 --stringparam admon.graphics 0 --stringparam html.stylesheet
adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.css --stringparam toc.section.depth 1
--stringparam chunk.section.depth 0 /etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/epub.xsl
/tmp/adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.xml

That does not tell me more than the above errors, I'm afraid. xsltproc

On my Xubuntu 10.04 system:
The http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/ entry in the global XML catalog
/etc/xml/catalog points to the global DocBook XSL catalog
/etc/xml/docbook-xsl.xml which points to
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/catalog.xml
which rewrites
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl to
./epub/docbook.xsl (i.e.
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/epub/docbook.xsl).

The upshot is that
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl in the
import element is translated to the local file
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/epub/docbook.xsl
i.e. the local stylesheet file, not the URI, is loaded.

Now this is just the way it works on my Xubuntu 10.04 system, though yours
should be quite close. You may want to check that your DocBook XSL install also
updated the global catalogs correctly because installing stylesheets locally
also requires the global catalog is updated accordingly (normally handled
automatically by package installer scripts). I'm almost out of my depth here so
I can't be much more help I'm afraid.

One more thing, you may also like to try DocBook XSL Stylesheets 1.75.2 (the
version I'm using).

It looks rather like Arch Linux's docbook xsl bundle is broken: epub
simply isn't included with the other, global stylesheets.

You probably figured this out already but you can just download the
epub/docbook.xsl from the latest docbook-xsl release and copy it over
manually. Look in /etc/xml/config to determine where it should go.
Details are described here:

Thanks for publishing that helpful tip Francis.
I've linked it to the AsciiDoc epub web page:
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/publishing-ebooks-with-asciidoc.html
