Publishing Leaf Elements
During publishing, if a leaf has no content, it will be published with a checksum of null (empty checksum attribute) in the XML.
A final run of the Ennov InSight Validator tool will correctly set all checksums and confirm XML validity.
After publishing, when you choose View File for an empty SPL XML leaf element, an error message appears in the assembly. This is expected behavior.
You cannot preview cover pages. You can preview only source document renditions, TOCs, and tabs.
Leaf Statuses
You can select the leaf elements to be published. When the
Publish Request page is initiated, in the Include Leafs with Status box select the leaf statuses of leafs you want to be published. The leafs with selected statuses are included in the electronic publish to generate output leaf files.
- This option does not affect the XML generation. For XML, all leafs are included, independent from the status assigned.
- After publishing is completed, the leaf statuses of leafs that have publishable elements are changed automatically to Published.
- For the Publish to a Single File option, all leafs are published to a single file, independent from the selected statuses.
- For the All Leaf Elements or Selected Leaf Elements options, only leafs with the selected leaf statuses are published.
- For the All Leaf Elements and XML and Selected Leaf Elements and XML, the backbone files and only leafs with the selected leaf statuses are published. When you do not specify the leaf statuses in the Publish Request, then only the backbone files are published.
- For the Paper Publish only, all leafs under volumes are published, independent from the selected statuses.
The publishing job fails, if:
- All leafs have no publishable elements.
- There are no leafs in the assembly with the selected leaf statuses.
