Re: "can't transparently output node at top level"

[Thomas Dupond]

This bug is acknowledged in pdfmom(1) in section Bugs :

       pdfmom sometimes issues warnings of the type
              ...: can't transparently output node at top level
       but this is more of an annoyance than a bug, and may safely be
       ignored.

Regards, Thomas
