Barchart was ignored about z3c.rml

[rapto]

I believe it should be inside an illustration, but I have not been able to produce a simple working example.

@strichter any idea about this one?

@Abdur-rahmaanJ All the charts are only available in drawings as they draw directly on the canvas. So <illustration> is a way to add a drawing in the story. That's what I do.

I thought I had added a mode that will raise an error when a tag is in a place where it is not supposed to be. But I guess it is not exposed in the CLI. Ah yes, z3c.rml.directive.ABORT_ON_INVALID_DIRECTIVE.

Ok let me try! Did not understand @rapto's comment!

@strichter this outputs a blank page:

Here's a version that works for future reference:
