Aha! The above has fixed it. pdf now renders correctly. I shall 
investigate what makes it stop working by adding bits from pdf.xsl to 
pdf2.xsl.

<insert long delay here ....>

Found it! If I comment out the wrap-option attribute below, as shown, it 
works on my test chapter.

<xsl:attribute-set name="monospace.verbatim.properties" 
use-attribute-sets="verbatim.properties monospace.properties">
         <xsl:attribute name="text-align">start</xsl:attribute>
<!--    <xsl:attribute name="wrap-option">wrap</xsl:attribute> -->
         <xsl:attribute name="hyphenation-character">\</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>


So, comment out line 97 in pdf.xsl for Publican 2.8.

Also, I noticed a number of errors about an illegal value for 
"keep-together.within-column" in pdf.xsl as well.

Near line 405, it looks like this:

<xsl:attribute-set name="example.properties" 
use-attribute-sets="formal.object.properties">
...
      <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column"></xsl:attribute>
...

I changed mine to auto instead of leaving it blank. That stopped the 
errors and the build appears ok.


Thanks for your help.


Cheers,
Norm.
