Description

Was getting this error:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: "fo:inline" is not a valid child of "fo:block"! (See position 1870:716)

After talking with the folks in the docbook XSLT mailing list, they helped me finding out that:

""
Based on the .fo file that Alberto sent to me, this appears to be a bug in FOP 1.0. I can reproduce it by putting an indexterm inside an inline element inside a footnote. In general, an indexterm generates an fo:wrapper element to hold the indexterm id marker. When this fo:wrapper is inside an fo:inline, it appears to confuse FOP, but only when inside a footnote. Removing the fo:wrapper removes the error. All other locations with that construction do not generate an error. Two other XSL-FO processors did not produce an error.

Somebody added:

FYI, until recently indexterms were not allowed inside footnotes at all:

They are allowed with v5.1:
