  • 1.  SOLVED - Re: [docbook-apps] blank lines when trying to generate custom titlepage with xsltproc

    Posted 12-10-2010 21:55
    Hi Bob,
    DOH! I was doing this:

    xsltproc --output /tmp/blah.xsl
    /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/html/titlepage.xsl
    titlepage.templates.xml

    instead of:

    xsltproc --output /tmp/blah.xsl
    /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/template/titlepage.xsl
    titlepage.templates.xml

    html/titlepage.xsl vs template/titlepage.xsl.

    I thought 'template' meant which template; html or fo, rather than
    actual 'template'.

    thanks!
    Matt

    I doubt if you are the only one to be caught out like that.
    Not sure what to suggest as an alternative name, but I
    find it confusing.

    generate-custom-titlepage.xsl or something?
