Re: flow object classes

[Daniel Speck <dspeck@xxxxxxx>]

I think the problem is that Holger is trying to use the non-standard flow object
classes associated with the SGML backend, e.g., (make element ...). You need to
declare these classes in your DSSSL specification before you can use them. The
Jade documentation for the non-standard SGML backend provides details but
basically you need to add at the top of your style specification declarations
like:

(declare-flow-object-class element
  "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Flow Object Class::element")
(declare-flow-object-class empty-element
  "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Flow Object Class::empty-element")
...
