I am transforming a DocBook compliant xml file into html using the DocBook stylesheets distribution. The transform runs in 2 second when I run it in the oXygen IDE. My website is a .NET 3.5 web site. I am doing the transform programatically using an XslCompiledTransform, a MemoryStream etc. That method works fine for the TOC, Introduction, and Abstract. For the sections that have <mediaobjects> in them, I immediately get a StackOverFlow error ("the error"). I can display a source file that has one <mediaobject> but get the error if there are two.
Below is one of my <mediaobjects>. There are only two in my test file. (There are 350+) in the file that oXygen processes in 2 seconds. I only have to comment out the <textobject> <phrase> node to get the transform to run.
<inlinemediaobject>
<imageobject role="html">
<imagedata format="gif" fileref="images/ch001.m436.gif" />
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>in-line formula</phrase>
</textobject>
</inlinemediaobject>
The error occurs at a specific line of the Docbook stylesheets. file= inline.xsl
<xsl:template match="phrase">
<xsl:call-template name="locale.html.attributes"/>
<xsl:if test="@role and
normalize-space(@role) != '' and
$phrase.propagates.style != 0">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="class.attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="class" select="@role"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:call-template name="dir"/>
<xsl:call-template name="anchor"/>
<xsl:call-template name="simple.xlink">
<xsl:with-param name="content">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="apply-annotations"/>
</xsl:template>
msdn says that the StackOverFlow error is thrown when there is recursion and does not require an infinite loop. but my test file has only two of the <phrase> nodes. Even when the test file runs OK it takes 32 seconds for the webpage to display - which is way too long.
Ideas? Thanks.
