RE: [xep-support] Formatting problem with XEPAssistant and ActiXEP

Hi Mher,
Thanks for your reply!

1. ActiXEP works now with both of your suggestions - renaming the file to
.dbx and updating the DocBookstylesheet rule to use *.xml.
2. I have added the processing instruction as you mentioned, for both XEP
Assistant and the ASP.NET sample application, but still the same result.

How can I force the ASP.NET sample application and XEP Asst to use saxon as
the transformer?

Thanks,
Hiral

Hello Hiral,

folder. It gives me this message:

character after document prolog (found "W") >(expected "<") '

By default ActiXEP processes files with *.xml extension as WordML documents.
But your document is DocBook. Either change the extension of file to *.dbx
(for example sample.dbx) or change the stylesheet of *.xml rule to DocBook
stylesheet. Make sure you specify Saxon as a XSLT processor.

XEP .NET wrapper uses .NET's XSLT transformation engine for XSLT
transformation. There is a bug in .NET's XSLT transformation engine and it
can not transform documents with DocBook stylesheet.

You can use xml-stylesheet processing instruction to transform documents
with Saxon. For example your document will look like this.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="file://localhost/C:/Program
Files/RenderX/XEP4NET/stylesheets/docbook/fo/docbook.xsl"?>
<book>
