[&#x20;-&#xfe;] works fine for me. May be you have just forgotten a ';'?

I *cannot* reproduce this problem with, say,
<XXE_install_dir>/doc/user/userguide.xml.

Please try to convert a small document to HTML or to PDF. If it works
with a small document and it does not work with a large one (or one with
many images), then this is almost certainly an out of memory error.

See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/user_faq.html#outofmemory2 for an
easy workaround.

You did that using a editor other than XXE (e.g. a text editor) because,
in normal editing mode, XXE cannot be used to add alien attributes such
as "href" to an element.

FOP can be configured by passing it parameters.

* Edit <XXE_install_dir>/addon/config/docbook/xslMenu.incl.

* Go to command docb.toPS.

* The invocation of FOP looks like this:

---
	<processFO processor="FOP" file="__doc.fo" to="__doc.%0">
	  <parameter name="renderer">%0</parameter>
	  <parameterGroup name="docb.toPS.FOPParameters" />
	</processFO>
---

* You can either:

** directly add one or more parameters after
---
<parameter name="renderer">%0</parameter>

Re: XBRL support

Allyson Ugarte wrote:
> Can I use your XMLMind with XBRL schema?

Short question, long answer:

* XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition can be used to create
documents conforming to any W3C XML Schema, including XBRL.

* But, XXE is not bundled with a configuration for XBRL. You need to
create such configuration yourself.

This can take 5 minutes or several days of work depending on the degree
of comfort you expect from XXE. See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/ch02.html

* Free XMLmind XML Editor Standard Edition is identical to Professional
Edition except that we have added (artificial) restrictions to it:

Excerpt of http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/stdedition.html:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Edition has been artificially restricted in its support of W3C
XML Schema and RELAX NG.

XMLmind XML Editor Standard Edition cannot be used to create or edit a
document conforming to a W3C XML Schema or to a RELAX NG schema, unless
the root element of the document has a namespace, and this namespace is:

    * http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema,
    * or http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0,

I think "http://docbook.org/xml/index.html" is out of date a bit.

In "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/specs/" the latest Committee Draft is
4.4. Page "docbook-errata.html" is also referred to 4.4.

I need to read your custom configuration file in order to be able to
help you. Do not hesitate to send it to me (mailto:hussein <at> pixware.fr).

Re: "Open With" Bug in XMLmind V2.10

We did not forget to investigate on this problem.

The fact is that our installer (InnoSetup configured using a very simple
script of our own) does not add entries to the registry of MSWindows.

That is, to my knowledge, it is *not* our installer which added:

---
My Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\xxe.exe\shell\open\command
(default) == "C:\Program Files\XMLmind_XML_Editor\xxe.exe" "%1"
---

Otherwise, it would have been extremely simple to change this into:

---
My Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\xxe.exe\shell\open\command
(default) == "C:\Program Files\XMLmind_XML_Editor\bin\xxe.exe" "%1"
