Bernard<br><br>My experience in using Wikipublisher in the past suggests that you have used PmWiki features in such a way as to result in the XML that wikipublisher generates being invalid. The easiest to spot is unbalanced markup (for example, using the wiki equivalent of <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><b> </span><i> some text <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"></b> </span></i></span> which works in HTML but has to be properly nested in XML <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><b></span> <i> some text </i></span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"></b> </span><br>
<br>I wrote a mini-guide a couple of years ago on how to debug your wikipublisher problems for the engineers I was working with - here it is (sorry, cut and pasted from an intranet wiki, and refers to wikipublisher 2.2.2 - but I think the lessons are unchanged).<br>
<br>NB you might want to cross post to the wikipublisher forum <a href="mailto:wikipublisher@googlegroups.com">wikipublisher@googlegroups.com</a>.<br><br>HTH<br><br>Regards Nigel<br><b><br>My Wiki doesn't publish: What do I do?</b><br>
<p>You have pressed the PDF icon at the top right of the page, or the [options] button next to it.
</p>
<ol><li>On the followup page, you will see:
</li></ol><pre class="escaped"> Wikipublisher: turn web pages into a PDF file, delivered to your desktop<br><br> Wikipublisher is preparing the ''name of your page'' file for download. This takes a few seconds for short pages and up to two minutes for large page collections.<br>

<p class="vspace">Normally you either fill in your email address and
press [email], or you press [download] to see the PDF as soon as it is
generated.
</p>
<p class="vspace">To debug, press (what a surprise) the [debug] button.
</p>
<p class="vspace">After seeing a message:
</p><pre>Wikibook v1.0.5 is composing pdf; please wait.<br></pre><p>The XML is generated and you should either see:
</p><ol><li>a message saying everything is OK
</li><li>a message saying “Document at <url> does not appear to be in Wikipublisher XML”
</li><li>an XMLLINT message telling you exactly what went wrong, with the XML and L<small><sup>A</sup></small>T<sub>E</sub>X source
</li></ol><p class="vspace">This can take a while (especially if it is all going wrong).
</p>
<p class="vspace">If you get an unhelpful message, it is worth checking whether the XML is valid. WikiPublisher uses a URL like this:(<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">with your wiki name and trailpage name, of course</span>)<br>
</p>
<pre class="escaped"><a href="http://www.wikipublisher.org/cgi-bin/mkpdf.pl/http://">http://www.wikipublisher.org/cgi-bin/mkpdf.pl/http://</a><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><a href="http://my.wiki.com">my.wiki.com</a></span>/pmwiki.php?action=print&ptype=print&format=pdf&n=<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><a href="http://GS.GS">GS.GS</a></span>&PHPSESSID=3e33f5065406e5139547c68e73990be1&wpversion=2002003&email=&DEBUG=(debug)<br>
</pre>
<p>The <a href="http://mkpdf.pl">mkpdf.pl</a> script is passed a parameter which is the URL that
returns the necessary XML for conversion. Copy the entire URL, remove <code><a href="http://www.wikipublisher.org/cgi-bin/mkpdf.pl/">http://www.wikipublisher.org/cgi-bin/mkpdf.pl/</a></code> and then paste the new URL into a browser address bar and press Go.
</p>
<h2>Validating XML</h2>
<p>You will get XML data returned. You can now validate this using an online service such as <a class="urllink" href="http://www.validome.org/xml/validate/" rel="nofollow">http://www.validome.org/xml/validate/</a>.
</p>
<p class="vspace">Either save the XML to a file and then upload it to
Validome, or simply paste the URL into Validome. If you see XML
entities like &amp; in the URL, replace them with the real character
(&).
</p>
<ul><li>If Validome can’t process the URL, then probably neither can WikiPublisher. You will see an error message like this:
</li></ul><pre class="escaped">Fatal Error<br>The Document `http://<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><a href="http://my.wiki.com">my.wiki.com</a></span>/pmwiki.php?action=print&ptype=print&format=pdf&n=<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><a href="http://GS.GS">GS.GS</a></span>&wpversion=2002003` could not load!<br>

<ul><li>if you see something like this in the XML:
</li></ul><pre class="escaped"><!--PageText--><p><visual markup='bf'>Password required</visual> <br></p> <br><p><!--tbook:p ERROR--> <br>Password: <br></pre>
<div class="indent">then obviously there is a problem with passwords
</div><ul><li>If the document isn’t XML, it is most likely that
something is unbalanced. Perhaps there is an opening element (eg '''
for bold) but no matching closing element; or perhaps two markup
elements have become interlaced (like <b><i> xxx

often display correctly, but the transformation to XML doesn’t work.

The URLs are properly registered on their site, so I guess that the problem may lie in the way I set up the implemented recipe.<br>
