xsltDocumentElem: unable to save to ./knowl/p-1682.html

[Petra Bonfert-Taylor]

Hi-

After upgrading my CLI (from 0.6 to the current version) I can no longer create latex output. For some reason, rather than working in the temporary directory, tons of html (why html when trying to create LaTeX?) files are created in my main directory.

In addition, I get the below error message along with hundreds of : 

    * No such file or directory

    * No such file or directory

    * runtime error, element 'document'

    * xsltDocumentElem: unable to save to ./knowl/p-1682.html

Final error message:

critical: xsltDocumentElem: unable to save to ./knowl/p-1682.html

##################

Failed to build latex.  Exiting...

----------------------------------------------------

While running pretext, the following errors occured:

critical: xsltDocumentElem: unable to save to ./knowl/p-1682.html

Thanks- Petra

Can you please post the output of pretext support?

My only guess at this point is that the stringparam "<stringparam key="debug.skip-knowls" value="yes"/>" looks out of place.  I don't know what that would do on a latex build, but it's worth trying without it.  

If that doesn't work, then we would need to see your custom xsl I think.  Or try without the custom xsl and see if that helps.

Found it... My 

<xsl:import href="./core/pretext-latex.xsl"/>

imported html instead of latex... That explains the creating of that insane number of html files while trying to create latex output. 

I am up and running now - thank you so much!
