Docbook XML file does not exist

Docbook XML file does not exist

[Belpaire]

Hello, 

can somebody help me in setting up the Docbook export? 

My OS is Windows XP with Cygwin installed. 

Org-mode creates the Docbook xml file, but thinks it doesn't exist when
org-mode wants to process it.

See the below extract of the Messages buffer. 
Any clue why this happens? 

Why is fop.bat looking for fo file 
e:\home\pub_html\e\:\home\pub_html\EERS.logic.fo?
 ("e:\home\pub_html\" should NOT be TWICE in the filename) 

Thanks in advance! 
Eric

I cannot help but I can definitely share my experience. I am more of a
"one off" user of docbook exporter.

Same here.

I ran into same issues. The "impression" I got was that it has something
to do with the way docbook exporter shell quotes it's arguments. I
didn't investigate further and this is what I ended up with finally.

Export to xml from within emacs and export to pdf from within
shell. (shell is bash within cygwin). There are two variations of shell
command that I use:

1. Variation 1:
#+begin_src sh
  xsltproc -stringparam admon.graphics 1 --output test.fo /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/fo/docbook.xsl test.xml
  
  ~/bin/fop-1.0/fop ./test.fo test.pdf
  
  open test.pdf
#+end_src

2. Variation 2:

#+begin_src sh
   dblatex test.xml
#+end_src

The advantage of using variation 1 is that it produces a better looking
output and the inline images do get embedded. The disadvantage is that
you have to configure quite a good number of variables (3 variables
right?) before you bite the dust :-). .

The disadvantage of variation 2 is that it is a simple command that
converts directly from xml to pdf and hides the presence of all the
backdoor jugglery like the presence of xsl file, fo file and fop
converter (Does dblatex use these internally - not sure). The problem is
the resulting document has the inline images stripped off and the output
is sloppy (relatively speaking).

Here is what I would recommend as a minor enhancement to docbook
exporter:

Provide a `single' variable setting that takes the user from xml to pdf
in a single step. Make dblatex the default converter of org-docbook.el.

Forgot to add this, the whole docbook to pdf could be shellified by
using org-export-as-docbook-batch.

I confirm that this works !

This works to transform the org file into a xml file.

Thanks, Eric
