Indeed, those 
 characters are the
cause. Those are carriage return characters. What you don't see in
your 'monospace.verbatim.properties' are the two properties contributed by the
'verbatim.properties' attribute-set in fo/param.xsl:
<xsl:attribute
name="white-space-collapse">false</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="white-space-treatment">preserve</xsl:attribute>
These preserve both the visible 
 carriage
return and the invisible line feed that ends each line, so you get two line
breaks, leaving a blank line. Is there some reason the 
characters need to be there since the invisible line feeds are
retained?

Sorry
for my late response but I was on vacation and forgot about this email
L!
I
use Saxon 9.1.0.2J to resolve the XIncludes.
I
think the programlisting stuff has something to do with this: http://services.renderx.com/lists/xep-support/4585.html
.
The
document with the resolved XIncludes looks like this:
<programlisting
language="xml" linenumbering="unnumbered">
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?oxygen
RNGSchema="schema/docbookxi.rng"
type="xml"?>
<!DOCTYPE
book SYSTEM "schema/text.ent">
<chapter
xml:id="generalinformation"
xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<title>General
Information</title>
<indexterm
significance="normal">
<primary>DocBook</primary>
I
think this entity(;
), causes the empty lines. I’m using XEP
4.16 to generate the PDF-Output and my “monospace.verbatim.properties“
attribute-set is defined as follows:
<xsl:attribute-set
name="monospace.verbatim.properties">
<xsl:attribute
name="font-size">8pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-family">Courier
New</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="hyphenation-character">\</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="line-height">1.2</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="border-style">solid</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="border-color">#E6E5E5</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="border-width">.5pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="text-align">start</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="wrap-option">wrap</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="padding-left">0.10in</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="padding-right">0.10in</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="padding-bottom">0.10in</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="padding-top">0.10in</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
Thanks
in advance.

Hi,
You didn't mention how you are resolving your XIncludes. In
the libxml2 kit, you could use xmllint --xinclude to generate a document with
XIncludes resolved. Then you could examine the resolved content to see
what the XInclude step is doing.
The page break stuff is particularly strange, as para does not
generally trigger a page break.

samples using <xi:include>
Hello!
I have included a DocBook XML
file (encoded UTF-8) in a programlisting which in turn is placed in an
example:
<section
xml:id="docbook">
<title>What is
DocBook?</title>
<para>DocBook
provides…</para>
<para>DocBook
has some 400 tags...</para>
<example>
<title>A
typical, simple DocBook document</title>
<programlisting
language="xml">
<xi:include
href="userintroduction.xml"
parse="text"><xi:fallback><phrase>userintroduction.xml
not found.</phrase><phrase
userlevel="internal"> Please
check for black holes!</phrase></xi:fallback></xi:include>
</programlisting>
</example>
</section>
In the PDF output (using XEP) I
have the following two problems:
*Problem 1: The code lines are
shown double-spaced instead of single (empty lines between the code lines)
and the syntax highlighting does not work. Note that when copy-pasting the
code into the DocBook document, both works fine.
*Problem 2: I get two page
breaks which I did not bargain for. The PDF is structured as
follows:
… blah the end of the last
section.
What is
DocBook?
DocBook
provides…
(half a page
empty)
(page
break)
DocBook has some 400
tags…
(90% of the page
empty)
(page
break)
Example: A typical, simple
DocBook document
…
I use XSLTHL for syntax
highlighting. If you need more information please tell
me.
Thank you in
advance!
