I'm trying to customize the *book* template from the dvision.xls stylesheet
and run into an error for xsltproc. At this point, I'm not even changing
the template, but simply putting a copy of it in my customization file
produces the error, "I/O error : Is a directory" (happens when chunking the
index.html file).

<xsl:template match="book">
<xsl:call-template name="id.warning"/>


</xsl:template>

Is this likely a problem with precedence? If so, any idea what I need to do
to be able to include this template in my customization layer?

BTW, I'm using the 1.78.1 stylesheets.

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,
Customization of the chunking stylesheet requires a two-file setup.
That process, and the background about why it is needed, is described here:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ChunkingCustomization.html

The problem you ran into is that the chunking stylesheet processes each
chunk element twice: to make it into a chunk file, and to format the
content of the element within that file. Copying the formatting
template to the main chunking stylesheet (the one you apply to your
file) messes up the first part, leading to that odd error message.
