Just a quick note to everyone about Jade's use of concrete syntaxes, because I just wasted 2 hours on a problem I was having and I should have remembered this undocumented "feature" of Jade because I think I discovered this 3 years ago and it just slipped my mind.
My stylesheet was using the reference concrete syntax and my source SGML was using a specialized concrete syntax ... Jade ignores the concrete syntax of the source file and uses the concrete syntax of the stylesheet when parsing the source.
To get around my problem I copied the concrete syntax from my source SGML to the top of my stylesheet (which typically just uses the reference concrete syntax) and everything worked.
I would think the DSSSL would allow the stylesheet and the source file to have different concrete syntaxes and that this is just a quirk of Jade ... does anyone have an opinion that they should necessarily be the same?
I don't mind that it is a quirk of Jade, I just wish I had remembered it two hours ago.
Hopefully by posting this publicly it will show up in the archives for future reference by someone having the same problem.
No response required.
I hope this helps.
