[xep-support] Re: What's the correct syntax for referencing another config file from xep.xml?

Many thanks for the reply.

I was trying something similar (actually using font-group rather than
fonts) but I kept getting this (completely useless) error message:

     [exec] Formatter initialization failed: com.renderx.xep.lib.ConfigurationException: Structure error in configuration file: java.io.EOFException: no more input

Really, that's a hopeless diagnostic message because it doesn't tell
you anything useful about what's gone wrong.

Anyway, It turns out that what it was griping about was that it
couldn't find my config file (why didn't it say that?) as it has
to have an absolute path (which doesn't seem to get mentioned in the
XEP user guide) - so I changed to using the following and it now works
OK:

    <font-group label="Local Fonts" href="/opt/XEP/localfonts.xml"/>

Cheers,

Mark
