RE: [docbook-apps] Re: VirtualBox DocBook 5.0 VM
Hmm, my docs are tiny compared to that. Are you using XIncludes, olinks, and profiling?
 
Here's how I'm calling xsltproc in my build.bat file:

call xsltproc.exe 
	--nonet 
	--xinclude 
	--stringparam profile.condition %conditions% 
	--stringparam olink.debug 0 
	--stringparam collect.xref.targets "no" 
	--output %output_file%  
	--stringparam insert.xref.page.number yes 
	--stringparam insert.olink.page.number maybe  
	--stringparam target.database.document %olink_file%  
	--stringparam current.docid %doc_id% 
	%xsl_file% 
	%book_file% 
 
Regards,
Jeff

One more bit of info. I just ran a 1200 page doc (XP/2Gb/xsltproc) and it used about 230 MB of memory to churn through that doc.

		Jeff,
	I routinely process books over 400 pages (XP/2Gb/xsltproc) and rarely see a memory error. However, when I DO see one, it is because I have done something wacky in the XSL or have done something in the XML that was "legal" but not supported in the XSL. Rare though.
	 
	What command line switches are you using?
	 
	Regards,
	Dean Nelson

		I'm using the Windows version of xsltproc.
		
		xsltproc worked fine on our smaller manuals (~50 pages), but it wasn't able to handle our largest books (~400 pages). I need to be able to build all the manuals on the writers' machines, which are Windows 7 or Windows XP laptops with only 2 GB of RAM. Xsltproc couldn't seem to handle those constraints. Saxon+Xerces can.
		
		If other people are using xsltproc under similar constraints on Windows and it's working fine, perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

		Was that a Windows version, or *unix?
		
		Size of manual?
		
		I'm sure libxslt folks would love to hear about that whichever system it was on.
