[xep-support] [SPAM] AW: Re: Abort when Image File not found?

Hi,
the easiest thing would be to create XEPOUT intermediate format in a first step.If XEPOUT doesn’t contain the 404 image everything is ok and you can continue producing a correct PDF.Otherwise don’t create the PDF.

Well, consider it as an early "quality control alarm". :) If XEP has built a PDF, is the PDF correct? Maybe, maybe not. If you haven't looked at the (error?) messages, you can't tell.
The only way to tell is to browse through your 600 or so pages to find the missing images. Not very nice.
The question is, should XEP abort the rendering process if it can't find an image. Well, probably the FO spec gives you some freedom in this regard. I would propose to make it either an option in the configuration or in the command line.
With such a configuration method, people can switch the behaviour: when they are writing their documents, missing images are not very serious as they will be added later. However, if they create the final document, any missing pieces should are fatal and so should be any error messages (which means, abort).
That would make such an error obvious and you won't deliver broken PDFs anymore.
